Disable BIOS Password on Boot?

Is there a way to disable BIOS password on Boot? I know the password & all. It's just annoying to have to keep putting it in on start, then having to sign in again seconds later. Thanks in advance.

Hi there Majkel and all others,
This forum gui is difficult to use/understand so apologies for my naivety.
This is a strange situation so hopefully someone can help!
Recently I found a Toshiba A120 satellite pro in a rubbish bin.
I cant stand the idea of goog tech going to waste so I pick it out and dusted it off hoping that I could get it
working again.
However even though when I got it home and it powered up oh joy, my glee was indeed short lived by
one single word, thats right
"password="
I tried reading the sata hard drive on a separate usb to see if I could find out whose it was and contact them.
Hard drive dead.
I tried knocking on all the doors near where I found it to find the owner and try and get the password from them.(fingers crossed someone may be able to help?)
I tried my nearest laptop repair shop he quoted 100 for soldering in a new bios chip which sounded expensive and suspiciously like it wouldnt work.
I'm willing to send it into toshiba if I have to but I would really like to find a way to contact the original owner
and simply ASK THEM what the password is, I would even pay them to find out if I had to.
The only info I have is the serial number which is- s/n- 76041309h or the longer number on the bottom which is- i76041309hssac0007009ENB
If there is any way to get hold of the original owner and ask them it would be a godsend!
Thank you to anyone who can help!

How to disable BIOS password on Satellite Pro A120?

Is it possible to disable BIOS password on Pro A120 laptop?
I know the password, but I can't delete it. I tried both through Password Utility on Windows and through BIOS, and in both I can change the password, but not disable it (i get DELETION DENIED message).
Thanks in advance.

How to disable BIOS password

hi please help me,my hp pavillion dv6-2112sa always ask me for administration password whenever i on my computer.i know the password but dont know how to disable it.pls help
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
You can remove the need for a power on password as follows.
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up menu and then select f10 to enter the Bios menu. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Security tab and hit enter. Use the arrow keys again to highlight power on password and hit enter. Enter the current password and then for the new password, just leave this blank and hit enter - do the same for the confirmation field. Press f10, select to save the new settings and hit enter.

Disable bios password

How do I disable passwords in bios doesn't give me that option

Hi, There is no option of reseting the password for User account if you have not created a password reset disk. You can reset if the operating system is Windows XP on the unit, if not you have to reinstall the OS by performing system recovery which can be initiated by tapping F11 when you turn the unit ON.

Disabling S205 BIOS password

I'm returning an S205 for a repair and have been told to disable any system passwords first.
I had a boot password set, but went into the BIOS to disble it - in the Security section I entered my current password and for the new password just pressed Enter. When I next booted I was again asked for the password. Looking again at the BIOS settings the boot password was enabled again, and I've now gone through this process maybe a dozen times or more without success - I just keep getting asked for the password at bootup.
Any ideas anyone as to why the setting is not being saved? Or am I doing it wrong?
Thanks

Hi

Enter in to Bios > security > Click on Clear User Password > Disable Power On Password

L755-S5216 Due to unknown BIOS password unable to boot to optical drive for recovery

Unable to access BIOS or change Boot Order due to unknown BIOS password. Called Toshiba Tech Support and they say they don't have a MoBo diagram or sevrice manual so I can find jumpers to reset BIOS. They told me to call local repair, but they are also unwilling to help. Tried removing CMOS battery, no go. There must be somone out there who can help me with location of reset jumpers. I'm beginning to think I wil no longer be recommedning Toshiba. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that number. It’s an independent contractor for Toshiba and they also are unwilling to provide the simple information on how to reset the BIOS. I don't understand how no one at Toshiba is willing to provide this information. Anyone who purchases an electronic product is entitled to a schematic or diagram of the jumpers on the motherboard. Independent contractors shouldn't be put in the position of supplying tech support for Toshiba, and so it's understandable that they won't and would rather charge $175 for something that anyone should be able to do themselves. I hope this can be escalated to someone in Toshiba management. There are many laptop choices. Holding back simple information to allow one to fix their own Toshiba laptop is not good corporate strategy.

Lenovo T400 Boot/Bios Password

Reinstalled the system, have set a boot and bios password. Stupidly I forget to write it down, now I cannot remember anymore.
Need help to reset the boot and bios password asap.
Type 6474-19G S/N xxxxxxx 08/11

mrmail, welcome to the forum,
as far as the bios password is concerned; please refer to the T400 Maintainance Manual. Page 65 of the pdf would be a good place to start.
Other than that I'm afraid you need to remember what you entered as a password; the forum rules state;
No posts shall include instructions or directions intended to
subvert security measures, including passwords, locking mechanisms,
fingerprint scans, etc, nor shall any posts provide descriptions to the
location of, nor direct links to content related to these topics.
Sorry, I have to lock this thread.

How to disable (not reset) bios password HP-Mini?

Is there a way to disable (not having to enter it after power on) the bios password? I KNOW the password, I can get into BIOS but I don't see an option to disable it, you can re-enter the current password and choose a new one but no delete or disabling option...??? Is there a way to disable it completly?

Got it! Was doing it wrong way leaving all spaces blank but it doesn't work because it always prompts you to enter your current password; so that's Current Password > "your current password" hit enterNew Password > "leave blank" hit enterConfirm New Password> "leave blank" hit enter and it prompts you to "CONTINUE with save changes?" > hit enter and Password changes from <SET> to <CLEAR>; SAVE & Exit and it's done. Thank you!

Hi, If your machine is producing a hexadecimal halt code, this would indicate it has a more recent AMI bios, in which case, you only have two options at the moment.
1. Contact HP and see if they can help with an unlock code - start Here.
2. It would appear that the hash is not stored in nvram and that removing the cmos cell, holding down the power button for a minute, then leaving it for a couple of hours before re-assembly will actually clear the password - the bad news if you wish to try this is that the cell is on the wrong side of the system board - see Page 127 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

I can't acces to BIOS to change boot order on Satellite 2410

I can't acces to cmos to change boot priorityre. HELP !!!
Notebook Satellite S2410-504.
I try to normally press "C" on startup to boot from CD. but it don't work.
F12 too don't help.
I think some set some password on HWUtility, but how disable this pasword?
Please HELP!!!!

LOL... motherboard replacement? You dont need a new Motherboard.. Just a new flashed BIOS... Buy a new flashed BIOS... or ask someone to flash your old one...
Aaaand you can always update the BIOS with the wrong procedure :) as long as you dont reboot... If your highly skilled you will be also able to do the following trick...
Get a NB with the same BIOS and BIOS chip... Load the operating system... remove the BIOS chip while the operating system is... operating... Put the bad flashed or empty BIOS chip in the socket... Flash it... Now you got your accidentally bad flashed BIOS chip flashed...
To your BIOS Password problem Problem... I dont know, if Toshiba has build in a reset Jumper... But in Desktop systems, you can always reset the "complete" BIOS + Password with that jumper. Should be possible in Notebooks too...
