Help needed to reset bios

I have a Satellite A40-SP150, somebody entered a password into the bios, and can't start my laptop, how do I reset the bios or how do I reach the rtc battery to reset the bios? Have tried to download the service manual for the laptop but can't find it.
Thanks in advance for the assistance

gogogo183, welcome to the forum,
did you buy the system used, directly from Lenovo or from a shop?
There is no supervisor passwords default, it needs to have been set by someone. You need to contact whoever you purchased the X60 from in order to seek assistance with this.
In the forum rules it states;
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.

    Keep trying any password until you get an error/halt code.
    Then visit site below & use error/halt code to get a working master password.

  • Help Needed for Resetting VoIP SPA 2100 Codes

    Yesterday afternoon, I lost power to my home for a few minutes; until then my phone worked perfectly (for the week that I had it initially installed). I have the Earthlink TrueVoice program with a ZyXEL P 600 series DSL modem and direct Ethernet cable (NO router) to my ATA adapter (Linksys VoIP model SPA 2100). My computer is an HP Pavilion 8755C with Windows Millenium Edition. I have a standard (wire) phone connection. After the power was restored to my home, I tried to use my ATA adapter (Linksys VoIP model SPA 2100) to make a phone call, but there was a five-second delay between when I spoke and when someone on the other end of the line heard me. I contacted Earthlink through online chat and was told to do the following: Dial **** 877778 # 1 to reset the adapter. I did this and nothing positive happened (though I did hear a recorded English woman’s voice repeat the numbers I dialed); I did, however, lose the dial tone and was unable to connect to the Internet with my DSL. So, to conduct more online chat, I re-routed the Ethernet cable to bypass the ATA adapter; I was successful at restoring my Internet, but, obviously, I had NO phone service. More than 8 hours of online chats to Earthlink technical service resulted in failure each time. I swapped ends of my cables numerous times – no success. I removed the power cords to the ATA adapter and to the DSL Modem MULTPILE times for for up to 5 minutes – no success. The lights on the back of the ATA lit properly, but since the first time I tried the **** 877778 # 1 code, the Status light blinks and the light indicating “Phone 1” stays dark (yes, there is astandard phoneline connected to that port). I tried multiple codes to reset the ATA (re-coding instructions are separated by semi-colons): **** 877778 # 1 ; **** 877778 # 1 # ; **** 732668 # ; *** *73738 # 1 . I unplugged the power cord and Ethernet cable (to the modem) on the ATA adapter for about 1 or 2 minutes after trying to reset the code before reattaching everything (power cord always re-attached last). I tried each of these suggestions MULTIPLE times without success. One Earthlink tech wanted more specific information – the MAC address (which I was told is a 12 digit hexa decimal number that starts with zero). I told him what it was. He asked me to try a “ping” test; I was told to click on Start -> Run, type in cmd and hit Enter. A new window would appear and I should type in ping 192.168.0.1 and hit Enter. I never got to the “new window” because after I typed in “cmd” and hit Enter, I received the message “Windows cannot find cmd.” I was told to dial the code * * * * 110 # and to hear my IP address; I heard nothing. I noticed that the last time I tried to dial **** 877778 # 1, I was interrupted before I typed the final “1” because the recorded voice told me “invalid value.” Around 1 a.m. last night I gave up in disgust and went to sleep, disconnecting everything. I have now reconnected the DSL modem and made the direct connection to my computer (the ATA adapter is still disconnected from power and all connecting cables). I am not an idiot and I have some electronics experience (I have wired several home theater systems), but I have little computer experience (and none with VoIP) and right now I am totally frustrated. The tech support at Earthlink is virtually worthless. Please help (and please keep it in simple terms so that an ignorant individual like myself might learn – I need a nice step-by-step method (including times to wait between restarts, what cables/cords to disconnect and the order to disconnect/reconnect them (if that matters) to reset this device) Thanks from a neophyte who is not afraid to be honest and show his ignorance in this area of knowledge.

    hi,
    i have a SPA-2100 it's a Sipura, and it now asks for a password. I was putting all my settings in for voip provider and now can not get in my admin? i did try the 73738 and that did not work. I was able to put my providers sip and stun all in. is it i'm locked out from my voip provider? If so why would that be, because this is not their device, it's mine? but how do I get back in my admin or can the voip provider I put in, help?
    thanks

  • Help Needed - Accidentally Reset Lumia 610 - Lost ...

    Hi. I need help rescuing some family videos from my maid's Lumia 610. I've accidentally reset the phone, so all the data seems to have disappreared.
    Can someone help me, with get the videos back, or maybe, I could send it to Nokia to help retrieve the videos ?
    Thanks alot.

    Hi Fluorescence,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.
    When resetting a Lumia phone this will erase all data and set the phone in the factory state so all data will be erased. The only way you can get your data back is if you synced and backed up using the Zune software. Please refer to the link below on this. If you haven't synced your device with Zune then I'm afraid your data is lost.

    Look up DFU mode on Google or in the manual.

    That will let you reset it all back to new (you will lose everything since you have no backups).

  • ElitePad 900 Reset Bios Password

    Hi
    I have ElitePad 900 G1 [Product: D5J55PA#UUF], [Serial: (Personal information removed by Moderator)]
    I need to reset bios password (SMC.BIN)
    Regards

    Hello Terek,
    Since the Elitepad is an HP business product, you will need to contact HP Support directly for your country/area for help with resetting the Bios password. Elitebooks and Probooks cannot be reset via a password generator.
    A list of various phone numbers are listed in this thread here... HP tech support/ List of customer service phone numbers 
    Support should be able to connect you to the right person to talk to.
    You can also ask in the HP Enterprise Business Community in the section for  HP ProBook, ZBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE .
    Good luck.

  • Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

    need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

  • Hi there, I'm Medel and I'm currently on Saudi Arabia. I forgot my security questions' answers and need to reset it but I just added an alternate email a while ago. Can anyone help me how to reset it even if I don't have a recovery email registered?

    Can anyone help me how to reset my security questions on my apple account? I forgot the answers and need to reset it. Please Help...

    An alternate email is not used for resetting security questions, do you know if you have a rescue email address on your account ? If you do then follow steps 1 to 5 half-way down this page and you should get a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in Saudi Arabia to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699#S
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    Please Help.

    Hi Chris.  Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues.  They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced.  I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings.  However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved.  Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked!  I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
    Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
    Thanks, again.
