How do I launch and Reset Client Security Solution?

W510, Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit, and I like using the Password Manager feature with fingerprint security.  During a recent printer installation I had to set-up a Windows Password (I never had one before). Now upon logging in, Client Security Solution continually provides error message ("Your windows password was changed recently. Please enter your Windows password to synchronize with Client Security Solution" - but it doesn't recognize anything I enter, including the current password. I can ignore the message but now I am locked out of some encrypted files.
Lenovo Document ID#HT004617 correctly addresses this problem; but I'm stuck on their Solution Step #4 (Launch Client Security Solution) -  I'm supposed to launch the program, click advanced, and then select "Reset Security Settings."  Problem is there are over 4 dozen executable files in the (2) qty Client Security Solution sub-directories (c:/program Files (x86)/Lenovo/Client Security Solution and c:/Program Files/Lenovo/Client Security Solution) and I have yet to find one that properly launches the CSS program. (CSS is not available from the Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools menu). 
How do I start CSS?  
I keep machine up to date, ThinkVantage Fingerprint software #5.9.3, PW Manager version 3.20.0335.00. Machine is under warranty but Lenovo Support thus far unable to tell me what to do!
I'm sure somebody here knows the right CSS file to run, and specific procedure to synchronize the Password, would sure appreciate some help on this, thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Been away working, now back...
It was an HP8500 Printer that started all of this.  I find it difficult to believe that a (simple?) printer install could do so much collateral damage...
BACK TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION - How do I reset CSS?  Per furnished Lenovo documentation, (found on the hard drive) CSS was never installed on Windows 7 machines (for some Lenovo reason).  I can export PWs to external drive but still have no idea how to launch the CSS files (of which several executable files came pre-loaded on my machine).
As far as being locked out of files, Finale composition software now says (upon trying to open files) "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or administrator to obtain permission.."
Worst case, I can re-build my Finale composiitons, but I'm still annoyed with the Lenovo log-in screen constantly asking me to enter a password that I don't know!
I am very dissapointed with purchased LENOVO WARRANTY SUPPORT - the people I've talked to have no idea about what I'm trying to explain to them.

  • Client Security Solution and Office 2010's Word and Outlook

    I purchased my system June 16, 2009 with Vista downgraded to XP Pro so I was not able to purchase a upgrade disk from Lenovo to upgrade to Win 7 (deadline was June 22). This week I purchased the Windows 7,retail  64 bit Home Premium upgrade package at a local store.
    I did the upgrade (clean install) Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my ThinkPad T400 type 2764-CTO. Also successfully installed all Win 7, 64 bit ThinkVantage software with System Update 4.
    I manually Installed the file z909zis1032us00.exe Client Security Solution 8.3 for Windows 7 (64-bit only) Version: 8.30.0032.00 Note: When upgrading from Windows XP To use TPM with Win 7 erase TPM in the BIOS configuration utility. In the Security and Security Chip menu, locate the option to clear the security device referred to as Security Chip and clear. If not done you can install but not use the program.
    Then I had this issue with Client Security - Password Manager version 8.30.00.32.00 and Office 2010's Word & Outlook. This was before I spotted a tread with the same issue between Password Manager 3.20.0320.00 and Office 2007.
    I noticed that whenever I run Word 2010 or Outlook in conjunction with Client Security SolutionI I could not select text. I could no longer use CSS because of it...
    I called Lenovo and was told that they do not support retail version of Win 7. (Remember they refuse to sell me their version a week earlier). Because I dint know what to do, I deactivated the TPM in Client Security and it solve the problem in both Word & Outlook.
    On the following automatic System Update at the Lenovo site the system pick up something was wrong with Client Security (it did not when the TPM was activated???) and offered to download and install "Client Security Solution Office 2007 Patch 64bit". I did and following installation I re activated the TPM. The problem in Word & Outlook was no longer there.
    Then on the next system update the system offered to download and install "Patch for IE crash with Password Manager (Win7) version 1.0". I had not experience that problem but downloaded and let the system install it anyway.
    So the problem is not restricted to version 8. 3.20.0320.00 and Office 2007 as reported in the other thread. Because the patch was automatically downloaded fron the web site (Client Security Solution Office 2007 Patch 64bit)  I do not know if it is the same patch the was offered in that thread.
    I hope this will help other people having the same problem.

  • Help with setup of the X60s Client Security Solution

    I recently restored my X60s HDD using the Product Recovery CD from
    the Lenovo Service Center here in Singapore.  Prior to the recovery
    I had to reset the Security Chip thru the BIOS setup.
    I did not setup any password in the system during the recovery
    process.  Part of the recovery process I did was to upgrade the
    Rescue and Recovery (R&R) to Version 4.21.0016.00 and the Client
    Security Solution (CSS) to Version 8.20.0023.00
    Now that I have restored the Windows XP system and all of my
    application software, I tried to setup my Windows password and also
    use the CSS for added security of my notebook.
    When I initiate the CSS, it ask me for my Windows password so that
    the userid can be enrolled in CSS.  When I enter the password and
    press the OK button, I got this message ... "The user could not be
    enrolled with Client Security Solution"
    I think that the error is related to the resetting of the embedded
    chip, called the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the notebook.
    How do I now resolve this issue of using the CSS?
    By the way, I just bought my X60s last Aug 23 2008 and the reason
    why I had to recover my HDD is also because of the problem with the
    CSS password which for some reason it always fails to authenticate.
    Regards

    I have a Zen Micro 4GB setup and working great on our desktop computer. I have the Creative Media Source v3.0.9 and Zen Micro Media Explorer v4.00.22 software installed. I purchased two Zen Micro 6GBs at Christmas for my kids. I have been through the manual and these forums, but no help on how to setup the two new Zen Micros to work with the existing software. The new Zens do show the popup "Creative Media Device Detected", and I can see the new Zens in Windows Explorer. The new Zens do not show up in the Zen Micro Media Explorer. Do I have to install the Zen software for each of the three Zens? If not, any ideas? Thanks
    It appears that you may have both PlaysForSure Zen Micro and non-PlaysForSure Zen Micro. As such, you should install both plugins for MediaSource. A newer version of MediaSource is also available to you.
    Here is what you should do:
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
    - Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.

  • Client Security Solution with fingerprint disable

    I received a X201 with Win7 64-bits and I installed the fingerprint software version 5.9.4 and the Client Security Solution version 8.30.0031.00.
    The fingerprint software is working perfectly, but the CSS is with the fingerprint configuration disabled.
    Could you advice me in what is wrong?
    Regards

    hey hiratapqd,
    hard to say what had happen, but could you uninstall both softwares then install the fingerprint software first then install the client security solution.
    curious to know, was any software installed before this happen ?

  • Client Security Solution And System Key Recovery

    Hey,
    I have an IBM ThinkPad T40 2373-82M Laptop. Everytime Windows starts up Client Security Solution displays a box which is prompting me to enter a password of some sort for authentication. It indicates at the top of the window that the reason for authentication is 'System Key Recovery'. If I click the 'OK' button it brings up another window indicating that authentication has failed and that the security key could not be recovered. I do not recall ever entering a password in the Client Security Soultion programme or anywhere else on my laptop. I am not the first owner of this laptop and I am wondering if the previous owner may still have his/her password in the system? Is there any methid for which I could reset/restore these key's?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ash

    Thanks for the reply.
    I must say I have read various issues on the web regarding this particular software buddled with Lenovo T series and although I will be uninstalling it I do not believe there is any support on this whatsoever. Too bad cause I did want to use it ...

  • Rescue and Recovery and Client Security solution question

    I got a thinkpad edge e220s for home use and I am trying to figure out whether these two thinkvantage tools will be of any use to me since I am not on a company network or anything (all the marketing material mentions IT admins etc).
    Is rescue and recovery just a backup solution with disk imaging (like ghost)? I use a drobo for all my data storage so I am not too concerned about backups as the drobo offers redundancy in case of drive failure. The laptop has an SSD which doesn't have a lot of capacity so I do not want unnecessary tools that will take up a lot of space. However if rescue and recovery offers really helpful features then i might consider installing it (and just not using the backup feature). I could not make out what the marketing material meant by one button solution for viruses and crashes.
    Secondly, does client security solution offer features other than password vault/manager on my model? I am already using the beta for the new version (4) of password manager which is standalone and does not require client security solution. Again the marketing material does not help a home user like myself understand it very much.
    Any help will be appreciated!

    Based on your description I don't think Rescue & Recovery or Client Security Solution have any value for you.

  • The power meter, and Client Security Solution, Rescue & Recovery problems?

    Hey guys, 
    I just love my Lenovo X61s...
    Everytime I boot it up(BTW, I run XP) I login and CSS asks me to verify my authentication, and always fails. I HAVE read posts by other people reporting the same problem, and I've read that clearing the TPM thing in the BIOS will solve it, but in my case it just doesn't!
    Also, a power meter just beside the System Notification Tray, doesn't always show up, and hence sometimes when I shut down, a 'PwrBnkGndWindow' end program window pops up! Can anyone please please help me in solving my problems!? 

    Based on your description I don't think Rescue & Recovery or Client Security Solution have any value for you.
