[HELP] T43 Bios Supervisor

Hey guys,
first of all, sorry for my bad english, i'm french (sorry again for that >< )
i have buy a thinkpad last year. the model is a thinkpad T43 1871 FxxxAG. (the forum think it's a insult.. remove the xxx)
when i have buy this computer i have put a password in the bios for no one cant change anything.. (safety reason)
i still have my password, but when i want to go in the bios, i only loggin in User mode and not Super User mode.
so i can see what is configure, but can't change enything.. this is really a problem for me..
i was thinking maybe they have a combinasion of touch to made like ctrl+F1 to go in super user mode or something like that ??
thanks for helping guy's
regard, BM

You will need to enter the supervisor password as suggested by ajkula66, as he also says there is no workaround.

Bios Supervisor Password on Qosmio F30?

Hi All,
I want to set the password only for the bios (Supervisor)! How can I do that in Qosmio F30 (bios ACPI version 1.70)?
Regards

Hi
Usually you could set the password in the BIOS. Simply access to the BIOS and go through the single pages. I think the password option should be placed on the first page.
But be careful! If you forget the password you will be not able to remove it without any help from the authorized service partner!!!

T43 - BIOS Update Help

Hello,
First time poster and I did the "search" funciton to find an answer but to no avail. I have exhausted all the things online that I can dig up and would appreciate some guidance.
I need to admit first and foremost, I am not as techy as I'd like to be. I just decided today to update some stuff to my Thinkpad T43 (LONG overdue...and I do mean long). I am still running on the BIOS version 1.01. Naive me thought that my laptop would update itself without me having to do anything.
So today, I updated my ThinkVantage to version 3.14 and was successful doing so. I then did a "system update" to get all the necessary and critical updates for my T43. When I tried to update to BIOS version 1.29, I followed all the necessary steps (listed on the Lenovo Support section). At a certain point (each time), I would get a BIOS Update Error Message "The system power management is disabled. The Process has been canceled."
I have no clue what this means. I went to my power management (in the Control Panel) and can't seem to find how I can "enable" it.
I could sure use some advise and steps in order to correct this issue and update my BIOS version.
Thank you,
nova_grrl

Hello I am also getting this error: "The system power management is disabled. The process has been canceled."
My set up: ThinkPad T41 2378 DLU, running XP home. Current Embedded Controller version 3.01. Current Bios 3.19.
I am actually attempting to do a double update: Bios and Embedded Controller.
Lenovo's support pages are contradictory on which to update first (The Embedded Controller READ ME page states: "If you need to update the BIOS as well as the Embedded Controller Program, update Embedded Controller Program first." http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1rhj10ud.txt ; while the Bios Update READ ME page states the opposite: "If you need to update Embedded Controller Program as well as the BIOS, update BIOS first." http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1ruj37us.txt)
I have chosen to update the Embedded Controller first because of what I have read on the Bios Update READ ME page: "This BIOS version will only work with Embedded Controller Program Version 3.04 (or higher)", while the Embedded Controller page reads: "This version of Embedded Controller Program will only work with BIOS Version 3.13 (or higher)". I have the later not the former.
The embedded controller download page does not have a non diskette version, see http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS000738#. As you know, my laptop does not have a floppy diskette drive. In order to extract the 1rhj10ud.exe file I used the Virtual Floppy Drive (VFD) console. At the prompt I give the "start" command, followed by the "open" command to create a virtual floppy drive. All is good to here.
I run the 1rhj10ud.exe file by double clicking in my file browser. I am prompted to "Press ENTER to continue (read License agreement)". I go through the pages and finally type Y to agree to the terms. This takes me to a screen that states : "Insert a blank high-density diskette in drive a:. Press ENTER to extract,..." I press enter and get the following message: "100 percent Extraction Complete Press Y to do another copy" I press enter and the 3 1/2 Floppy appears in my file browser as (A drive. Inside A: I double click on the UPDTFLSH file which opens another dos window. I enter my "Supervisor Password". Then say "Yes" to the warning that I am about to update my Controller, and "Enter" after the next warning stating that the AC adaptor must be connected.
At this point I get an error message: "The system power managment is disabled. The process has been canceled."
I went back and rebooted. Went into the Bios Power controls and Disabled both the "Hybernate by Timer" and the "Timer wake with Batterh Operation" functions. And followed the above steps only to get the same error. In XP /Control Panel/Power Options Properties, I put the "Turn off monitor" and "Turn off disks" to "Never". Still the same error!
I do not know what to do now to carry on with this update. Thank you for any suggestions.

T43 bios problem when trying to update OS

I need help fast please. I know this probably isn't the smartest thing ever but my T43 is currently running XP Pro and I am trying to upgrade to Windows 8.1 I have checked everywhere and it all says that the computer will handle running it. However, I have been told that i need to change my BIOS settings to allow for it to run from the dvd drive instead of the hard drive.
How do I do this?
Please, please help!!
Thanks.

Hello,
Do you know what the machine type model number is of the ThinkPad T43? It should be on a label on the bottom of the ThinkPad and look something like 1234-ABC.

Help with Bios Password Reset Service

I am trying to use the Bios Password Reset Service for Power On password and Hard Drive Password. The current setting in the Bios is "Enabled, In Progress". The Bios sidebar help tells me that in order to complete registration for this function to open the Create Recovery Media application and "follow instructions". I am lost, there is nothing there about the Password Reset Service. I have already created the Recovery disks and even a Rescue Media disk.
I have found that in the Client Security Solution application, under the advanced tab there is a "Setup Hardware Password Reset" function but it is greyed out!
Since this function is available for selection in Bios shouldn't I be able to use it?
I am using the Windows logon password recovery function in Client Security with no problems.
Any ideas??
Thank you!!
Installed BIOS: 7LETC5WW (2.25-1.08) Release Date: 2009/01/08
Client Security Solution version: 8.20.0023.00
PS. I don't want to circumvent any passwords, I just want to activate the Hardware Password Recovery function in case I ever need it.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

UPDATE:
In case anyone cares, I was finally able to figure out how to activate the Hardware Password Reset feature in my T61. Here is the solution, at least in my case:
1)Found the file in Program Files->Lenovo->Client Security Solution->HwPwReset.exe
2)Ran the file and followed the instructions
3)A "Secure Environment" was created in the hardrive and the laptop restarted
4)The laptop booted into the Secure Environment where I was asked to establish 3 security questions and answers.
5)The laptop restarted and the status of the Pasword Reset function in BIOS changed to Registered.
Now if I ever forget the Power-on or Hardrive passwords all I have to do is press F12 on boot-up, select Password Reset option, answer my security questions and voila, passwords are reset or removed. Very nice!
BTW, I called Lenovo technical support twice and after talking to 3 "techs" and one supervisor they had no clue on how to do this. Go figure!

URGENT HELP NEEDED (Bios Settings Failed)

Hey Guys,
I am having problems with my MSI Board, and don't know what to do. I am very much a noob to BIOS/and modding so I apologize in advance. You guys helped me a few months ago getting everything up and running and all was great for months. Then last night I walked away from my PC for a while and when i came back a starting screen was on saying my OC Settings Failed to load, i tried other versions I saved and they all failed as well. I ended up loading failsafe options, and got the "double start" where the computer turns on, then instantly shuts off, then turns on again. This allowed me to load windows 7, which then started to "install updates". So i think while i was away Windows automatically updated and rebooted... but would that effect my BIOS settings?
As I said, I had my system running perfect for months no errors or crashes at all based on the Bios setting you guys help me with in this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147854.0
However, last week I removed the heat sink and installed this cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181010&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Water+Cooling-_-Corsair-_-35181010
All I did was unhook everything from the MB, install the cooler, and then hook everything back up to the MB. The only thing I may have done wrong is not connect the SATA devices (my HDs and ROMS) back in the spots they were in originally. However after I installed the cooler, they system booted right up, and I haven’t had any problems with my system for the past two weeks. I also should note I didnt make any BIOS changes either after I installed the cooler. So I don’t know if I should have done something there. Yet, like I said the system has been fine for the past two weeks, no crashes or errors... it wasn’t until last night after Windows auto updated that this has begun.
The reason I need "URGENT HELP" is because of course I just a new job with deadlines due and so much video editing work I need to do. I would be fine leaving it on failsafe settings, and forgetting the OC setting all together if I new that would make the system stable. But considering its still doing the "double start" even in failsafe mode, im afraid if i start working my system will crash.
So I am begging anybody for any advice or help they could provide. I will provide my system info below. If anybody can guide me as to what settings I should set in BIOS i would appreciate it. Or perhaps there’s a BIOS update that I should use now that I have a cooler and not a heat sink? If you need any more information from me, just ask. I will be monitoring this thread all day, as I desperately need help.
MY SYSTEM:
Intel 980X chip running Win 7 64bit (with MSI BigBang xPower MB installed in my old Dell XPS 730X)

PROBLEM: My OC BIOS setting wont load. Even on failsafe i get the "double start". I want to get back to my OC (stable) settings.
UPDATE: Since I posted somebody messaged me mentioned I should have "reset the CMOS" after I installed the new cooler. So I did that, and now they system starts fine without the "double start". I am able to load one of my saved OC settings now as well (but any others causes a failure).
NEW QUESTIONS:
1. Since I reset the CMOS and now the system is starting fine on my last OC settings, is it safe to assume the sytem is stable for now?
2. I never made any power changes or BIOS changes after I installed the new cooler. Should I have?
3. After I reset the CMOS was I soupposed to reinstall the drivers from the MSI disk again? I did not, and the system seems to be fine, but I thought I was soupposed to do that after a CMOS reset.
4. Is there a new BIOS version for my setup that may be better now? Im currently on v1.5
Here is a screenshot from CPUZ of the system information currently. This is with it booting normally after my CMOS reboot. I just figured id post it incase it helps with any of my questions. Thanks so much for helping guys!

Need help with bios for k9n sli v2(ms-7390)

I recently got a phenom 2 720 black edition CPU, and I flashed my bios with the beta bios for my board(7390v123).
Everything runs fine, except for now I can't change the CPU multiplier or CPU voltage(there locked on auto). Yes I do know about +/- and pgup/pgdn, the problem is it won't allow me to even select these options, it skips right over them to the next option. My motherboard is K9N SLI V2(Ms-7390). If anyone could help me out I'd be grateful thanks.

Need help on Bios Setting , Trying to set up a Seta Drive

System - Neo3 Platinum, AMD 2800+, Pheonix Bios.
Well Windows took a nose dive last night, couldn't repair it and the reinstall didnt take either. So I dug up an old IDE drive and finally got Windows to run. I have a SATA WD Raptor though that I want to make my main C: HD and use another IDE for extra storage.
My problem is trying to get it bootable, when I have the IDE in of course it reads it as C: and my Raptor as D: I'm not to sure on how to do that in the Pheonix Bios, there are so many settings.
If anyone can help me out it would be appreciated.

Need Help! Bios file for Compaq SR2010NX

Hello all, I'm looking for the original bios file for the SR2010NX. HP doesn't have it on their website and my computer won't boot correctly with it. ahhhhhh. I appreciate any help!!!
Thanks John

According to what I found, that has this motherboard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00757470&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=323...
Which is a A8M2N-LA Naos-GL6, is this that what you have? And what BIOS are you looking for, or should I say what did you try to put on it?
I happen to have the same motherboard on an old Compaq, so I could possibly exctact the BIOS file if it is the one you are looking for. It showes 3.00 I beleive but I will check if you need the info.

Need Help For Bios Update...

Hi Buddies, my mobo (760GM-P23 (FX)) is working with an Athlon II X3 455, Kingston HyperX KHX1333C9D3B1K2/4G Dual Kit and with just on-board graphic. MSI Live Update shows the bios H.20 as my board's and H.A0 as upgrade version. Is this information correct?
I'm an inexperienced pc user. Is there any software which installs the bios update through windows' interface?
I'm using "Core Temp" software as processor heat controller. Any other advice which shows also the mobo's temperature?
Thanks in advance..

Quote from: motan on 22-October-12, 19:58:19
Thanks for help. How do I understand that the mobo needs a bios update?
if you have no issues, then leave bios update alone
Quote from: motan on 22-October-12, 20:04:47
Thanks for help. I tried to use it. Interestingly Control Center and Live Update are not working together. Just ones is working if I install it before than other. Second gives error as "Driver can't load".
Control Center need admin permissions to runs properly.

Change your user config mode in dram configuration to manual and change your memory timing to 1T. The 1T setting will speed up your memory slightly.
