How to configure supervisor password on Tecra A4

hello,
I wish to enable a password for the bios accesson my tecra A4. (supervisor password)
But when I enable a password, it's for the boot of the pc.
I want to prevent the basic user to reach the bios without enable a password at the boot of the pc.
How can I do ?
Thanks

Hi
If you want to set the Supervisor Password so you should do it in the Supervisor password utility.
On my notebook I have found this utility in the Toshiba Assist -> secure.
I presume its also on your A4.
There you can start the Supervisor Password tool. There you have to choose the option registered.
Please post if it work

  • Satellite L670-134 How to delete Supervisor password?

    Hey, i have an epic problem.
    I was with some friends in a w-lan net and then some Trojan were placed to every of our Laptops. Now he took my administrator rights and set an Supervisor Password.
    Now i cant use my Laptop anymore.
    Can u help me pls fast ?

    You know what supervisor password is?
    The supervisor password is only to secure Bios settings and Hardware setup.
    Mostly set by an administrator so a user can't change Bios settings.
    The user may start and shut down the notebook however he wants and he is able to work with the machine normally - he just needs the supervisor password to enter the Bios or Hardware setup.
    So its kind of security and if you dont know this password, you can not delete this
    In such case you have to contact the Toshiba ASP in order to remove this ;(

  • How to configure admin password for app server 9

    hi all,
    i'm new to java EE and i'm having trouble configuring the admin password. i need the password when i'm running "ant create-tables".
    i've gone to '<install>\javaeetutorial5\examples\bp-project\build-properties' and changed a few properties, eg
    javaee.server.username=admin
    AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=charlesdds
    and i've edited the following file and set the password to 'charlesdds' -
    "javaee.server.passwordfile=${javaee.tutorial.home}/examples/common/admin-password.txt"
    when i run "ant create-tables", it says i need to specify the password in the "bp-project\build-properties" file..... which i thought i've just done.
    can anyone help
    thanks in advance
    mat

    Make sure that the file ${javaee.tutorial.home}/examples/common/admin-password.txt includes/contains the following line
    AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=charlesdds.
    Also make sure if you have build.properties under user directory with a different value for AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD.

  • How to reset BIOS Password on Tecra A10?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to reset the BIOS password on a Tecra A10-112?
    Thanks!

    Of course there is way but this kind of info is top secret and definitely not to be posted on public forum.
    This is very important security feature and cannot be discussed here.
    Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and they can remove it for you.

  • How do I get a supervisor password prompt to appear so I can configure the BIOS?

    Question How do I access the BIOS setup on a Thinkpad T60? 
    AnswerTo access the BIOS setup,
    1. Press the F1 key when the system boots
    2. You'll be prompted for the password.
    3. Enter your Supervisor password at the prompt
    The Power on password prompt and the supervisor password prompt are the same 
    If a power on password was configured you would need to enter this afterwards, the same applies to HDD password.

    You'll never get a supervisor prompt- I have PWR ON, HDD and Supervisor PWD.- If I want to enter to sipervisor mode, I have to enter the Supervisor PWD when asked for the Power On PWD....really tricky...

  • Tecra A11-1EG - cannot access BIOS after setting supervisor password

    Hello, I wonder if anyone can help ?
    We have just started to put a supervisor password onto our Tecra A11 laptops so our pupils cannot set passwords on the hard drive etc.
    To get into the BIOS and set a BIOS password, we press F2 as the machine starts.
    We then go into the security option, then supervisor password.
    Having entered the password we want to use twice, we press F10 to save etc.
    The machine starts ok and goes in to windows without a hitch.
    The problem we have now is that we cannot get back into the bios at all.
    As the machine starts we press the F2 key as before but unlike previously the screen just remains blank and the 'Toshiba leading Innovation >>>' screen no longer appears.
    If we keep our finger on the F" key or keep pressing it the laptop just restarts without ever getting to the BIOS screen where I assume we will get asked for the supervisor password we set earlier?
    Is there another key we should be pressing as the laptop starts ?
    I should add we have added a supervisor password for the BIOS security screen on three of our laptops and all three have the same issue.
    Thanks
    Steve

    I think this should be useful for you:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0B032D0000R01.htm
    In some cases you need to press the "INS" key while Toshiba logo appears.
    Then a prompt for the Supervisor Password would appear and if the password is certified then the BIOS could be entered by pressing the "F2" key.

    Thank

    The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

  • Cannot access BIOS on Tecra M11-11K after Supervisor password has been set

    Hi there,
    I've got 10 laptops Toshiba Tecra M11-11K here and they all have the same problem. If they turned on and I enter the BIOS to make adjustments for the first time, it's fine but if I want to return to BIOS after couple of restart (or even one), what happens when I press F2 is that the screen flashes and computer restarts. It does it on all 10 laptops. Anyone knows what to do with that? Flashing BIOS means I have to setup all of them before I can do that, which is a bit of a drag and I don't have guarantee it's gonna work. :/
    Thank you,
    J

    Nope.
    When I removed the notebook from the box, I entered the BIOS to change the BOOT order (Network First), setup Supervisor Password and changed SATA to Compatibility mode. Then I saved changes and rebuild the notebook from a WDS.
    When done I wanted to change the boot order to HDD only but everytime I press F2 to enter BIOS, the screen only flashes with a blank screen, and computer restarts and I'm back at the Toshiba logo (the one you see when you turn on computer) and that is happening everytime I press F2 to enter BIOS.
    It only restarts and comes back with Toshiba logo. Press F2, it restart and Toshiba logo is up again. :/
    I tried to update BIOS, but no luck.
    I can enter the BIOS only once, when unpacked from the BOX. After that, no chance. 10 laptops have the same problem.

  • T420 BIOS locked with supervisor password on *new* T420

    I bought a T420 (type 4236-5H7) online and was surprised to find that the system tried to deploy USAF SDC (Standard Desktop Configuration) on first boot. I cancelled the process and the harddrive was subsequently erased, such that the Windows boot manager gives an error.
    No big deal so far, as I intended to reinstall Windows myself anyways. Much more annoyingly, however, is that the BIOS is protected by a supervisor password right out of the box (and no mention whatsoever of what this password might be). In other words, I cannot change the boot list necessary to reinstall the operating system.
    Has anyone any suggestions on how I can obtain this supervisor password? And secondly, why the **** does Lenovo ship USAF SDC on a normal consumer product? Any help is appreciated, as I'd like to turn this shiny new brick into something useful.

    Lenovo wouldn't set any passwords from factory if it was intended for the end consumers, or set the machine in the manner you described, unless it is a corporate or government overstock. You should ask Buy.com where they got the machine, where they got the stock from, they can chase it up with Lenovo, since they will be a channel partner.
    Lenovo wouldn't have put any passwords on your machine if it was an end consumer product. There is no master passwords that you can override the current passwords with.
    The only solution is for full motherboard replacement (at your own expense).
    I am just curious if you are having this issue with the laptop, why did you forward it to Switzerland and not have this issue dealt with properly?
    Do you still have all the purchase detail of this machine? i.e. serial number and more importantly the tax invoices?
    Since you bought the machine from Buy.com, the sale contract is between you and Buy.com, Lenovo is only the supplier to Buy.com (if that is where they purchased the machine from) and not the direct supplier of the product to you. So you really need to get Buy.com to get this sorted out, Lenovo can't do much for you.
    My suspicion is that Buy.com may have sourced the machine from an alternative source, i.e. corporate or government overstock, and then sold it through their channel. If they got it from government overstock what you described can occur, as these machines would be setup in a manner ready for use by the government agency that deploys this standard. In which case the Buy.com would still be your only source of assistance you would get, but given that you don't have the machines on hand, even they can't help you much (as most likely they would offer a refund for your purchase).

  • How to configure sync with my local ftp server?

    I have used XMarks since now because it hallow me to synchronize my bookmarks with my local server. Now XMarks don't work anymore because it's not more possible to synchronize the passwords.
    Any other alternative imposes to use an external server and I don't want to use an external server. My data must remain on my machine it's absolutely excluded that i use an external unknown server for this.
    The only solution must be a free solution (a real free solution) and the firefox synchronization seems to me the best/only one.
    But I've not found how to configure it to use my own server.
    So how to do it, where are the options to the synchronizer to give my own ftp server or whatever other server it needs?

    iAS 6.0 sp4 officially does only support iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 sp1 and 4.13.
    For more details visit: http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/ias/60/sp4/ig/prep.htm#42084
    I guess, you can specify the directory server during the time of installation.

  • How to change my password and my incoming and outgoing mail servers

    Hi I have used Outlook Express for years and I know how to configure "everything" I need within the settings pages because their settings pages are all "logical" with everything out in the open.
    However, Thunderbird "hides" their settings behind buttons and confusing screens.
    There are many tutorials that explain how to set up Thunderbird from the beginning, and show how to set up a new email account. But I have not been able to find a tutorial on how to change my email account password "after" I have been using Thunderbird for awhile.
    I also see no way to change the incoming and outgoing servers. For example, I have changed from one hosting company to another hosting company and I need to use the new mail servers from the new hosting company and I do not see any tutorials anyplace that cover ongoing or day-to-day activities with Thunderbird.
    Can you please change your settings screens to make Thunderbird easier for new people to find these normal and necessary items?
    Also can you please point me to a tutorial that shows me how to change my email account password and change my incoming and outgoing servers?
    Thanks so much!
    Edward

    If you wan to create an account, you must the delete the existing account.
    So take backup of your emails if your using POP3
    Two ways you can do it
    *Copy all the emails to Local folder
    *Back up your Mail folder from your profile

  • How to configure sso with SSL step by step

    Purpose
    In this document, you can learn how to configure SSO with SSL. After user have certificate installed in browser, he can login without input username and password.
    Overview
    In this document we will demonstrate:
    1.     How to configure OHS support SSL
    2.     How to Register SSO with SSL
    3.     Configure SSO for certificates
    Prerequisites
    Before start this document, you should have:
    1.     Oracle AS 10g infrastructure installed (10.1.2)
    2.     OCA installed
    Note:
    1.     “When you install Oracle infrastructure, please make sure you have select OCA.
    2.     How Certificate-Enabled Authentication Works:
    a.     The user tries to access a partner application.
    b.     The partner application redirects the user to the single sign-on server for authentication. As part of this redirection, the browser sends the user's certificate to the login URL of the server (2a). If it is able to verify the certificate, the server returns the user to the requested application.
    c.     The application delivers content. Users whose browsers are configured to prompt for a certificate-store password may only have to present this password once, depending upon how their browser is configured. If they log out and then attempt to access a partner application, the browser passes their certificate to the single sign-on server automatically. This means that they never really log out. To effectively log out, they must close the browser.
    Enable SSL on the Single Sign-On Middle Tier
    The following steps involve configuring the Oracle HTTP Server. Perform them on the single sign-on middle tier. In doing so, keep the following in mind:
    l     You must configure SSL on the computer where the single sign-on middle tier is running.
    l     You are configuring one-way SSL.
    l     You may enable SSL for simple network encryption; PKI authentication is not required. Note though that you must use a valid wallet and server certificate. The default wallet location is ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.wlt/default.
    1.     Back up the opmn.xml file, found at ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf
    2.     In opmn.xml, change the value for the start-mode parameter to ssl-enabled. This parameter appears in boldface in the xml tag immediately following.
    <ias-component id="HTTP_Server">
    <process-type id="HTTP_Server" module-id="OHS">
    <module-data>
    <category id="start-parameters">
    <data id="start-mode" value="ssl-enabled"/>
    </category>
    </module-data>
    <process-set id="HTTP_Server" numprocs="1"/>
    </process-type>
    </ias-component>
    3.     Update the distributed cluster management database with the change: ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct opmn
    4.     Reload the modified opmn configuration file:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl reload
    5.     Keep a non-SSL port active. The External Applications portlet communicates with the single sign-on server over a non-SSL port. The HTTP port is enabled by default. If you have not disabled the port, this step requires no action.
    6.     Apply the rule mod_rewrite to SSL configuration. This step involves modifying the ssl.conf file on the middle-tier computer. The file is at ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf. Back up the file before editing it.
    Because the Oracle HTTP Server has to be available over both HTTP and HTTPS, the SSL host must be configured as a virtual host. Add the lines that follow to the SSL Virtual Hosts section of ssl.conf if they are not already there. These lines ensure that the single sign-on login module in OC4J_SECURITY is invoked when a user logs in to the SSL host.
    <VirtualHost ssl_host:port>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteOptions inherit
    </VirtualHost>
    Save and close the file.
    7.     Update the distributed cluster management database with the changes:
    ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct ohs
    8.     Restart the Oracle HTTP Server:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    9.     Verify that you have enabled the single sign-on middle tier for SSL by trying to access the OracleAS welcome page, using the format https://host:ssl_port.
    Reconfigure the Identity Management Infrastructure Database
    Change all references of http in single sign-on URLs to https within the identity management infrastructure database. When you change single sign-on URLs in the database, you must also change these URLs in the targets.xml file on the single sign-on middle tier. targets.xml is the configuration file for the various "targets" that Oracle Enterprise Manager monitors. One of these targets is OracleAS Single Sign-On.
    1.     Change Single Sign-On URLs
    Run the ssocfg script, taking care to enter the command on the computer where the single sign-on middle tier is located. Use the following syntax:
    UNIX:
    $ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssocfg.sh protocol host ssl_port
    Windows:
    %ORACLE_HOME%\sso\bin\ssocfg.bat protocol host ssl_port
    In this case, protocol is https. (To change back to HTTP, use http.) The parameter host is the host name, or server name, of the Oracle HTTP listener for the single sign-on server.
    Here is an example:
    ssocfg.sh https login.acme.com 4443
    2. Restart OC4J_SECURITY instance and verify the configuration
    To determine the correct port number, examine the ssl.conf file. Port 4443 is the port number that the OracleAS installer assigns during installation.
    If you run ssocfg successfully, the script returns a status 0. To confirm that you were successful, restart the OC4J_SECURITY instance:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
    Then try logging in to the single sign-on server at its SSL address:
    https://host:ssl_port/pls/orasso/
         3. Back up the file targets.xml:
    cp ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml.backup
    4. Open the file and find the target type oracle_sso_server. Within this target type, locate and edit the three attributes that you passed to ssocfg:
    ·     HTTPMachine—the server host name
    ·     HTTPPort—the server port number
    ·     HTTPProtocol—the server protocol
    If, for example, you run ssocfg like this:
    ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssocfg.sh http sso.mydomain.com:4443
    Update the three attributes this way:
    <Property NAME="HTTPMachine" VALUE="sso.mydomain.com"/>
    <Property NAME="HTTPPort" VALUE="4443"/>
    <Property NAME="HTTPProtocol" VALUE="HTTPS"/>
    5.Save and close the file.
    6.     Reload the OracleAS console:
         ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl reload
    7. Issue these two commands:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
    Registering mod_osso
    1.     This command sequence that follows shows a mod_osso instance being reregistered with the single sign-on server.
    $ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssoreg.sh
         -oracle_home_path $ORACLE_HOME
         -config_mod_osso TRUE
         -mod_osso_url https://myhost.mydomain.com:4443
    2.     Restarting the Oracle HTTP Server
    After running ssoreg, restart the Oracle HTTP Server:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    Configuring the Single Sign-On System for Certificates
    1.     Configure policy.properties with the Default Authentication Plugin
    Update the DefaultAuthLevel section of the policy.properties file with the correct authentication level for certificate sign-on. This file is at ORACLE_HOME/sso/conf. Set the default authentication level to this value:
    DefaultAuthLevel = MediumHighSecurity
    Then, in the Authentication plugins section, pair this authentication level with the default authentication plugin:
    MediumHighSecurity_AuthPlugin = oracle.security.sso.server.auth.SSOX509CertAuth
    2.     Restart the Single Sign-On Middle Tier
    After configuring the server, restart the middle tier:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
    Bringing the SSO Users to OCA User Certificate Request URL
    The OCA server reduces the administrative and maintenance cost of provisioning a user certificate. The OCA server achieves this by authenticating users by using OracleAS SSO server authentication. All users who have an Oracle AS SSO server account can directly get a certificate by using the OCA user interface. This reduces the time normoally requidred to provision a certificate by a certificate authority.
    The URL for the SSO certificate Request is:
    https://<Oracle_HTTP_host>:<oca_ssl_port>/oca/sso_oca_link
    You can configure OCA to provide the user certificate request interface URL to SSO server for display whenever SSO is not using a sertificate to authenticate a user. After the OracleAS SSO server authenticates a user, it then display the OCA screen enabling that user to request a certificate.
    To link the OCA server to OracleAS SSO server, use the following command:
    ocactl linksso
    opmnctl stoproc type=oc4j instancename=oca
    opmnctl startproc type=oc4j instancename=oca
    You also can use ocactl unlinksso to unlink the OCA to SSO.

    I have read the SSO admin guide, and performed the steps for enabling SSL on the SSO, and followed the steps to configure mod_osso with virtual host on port 4443 as mentioned in the admin guide.
    The case now is that when I call my form (which is developed by forms developer suite 10g and deployed on the forms server which is SSO enabled) , it calls the SSO module on port 7777 using http (the default behaviour).
    on a URL that looks like this :
    http://myhostname:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
    and gives the error :
    ( Forbidden
    You don't have permisission to access /sso/auth on this server at port 7777)
    when I manually change the URL to :
    https://myhostname:4443/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
    the SSO works correctly.
    The question is :
    How can I change this default behaviour and make it call SSO on port 4443 using https instead ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I reset password in iDS5.1?

    A newbie question:

Wondering how to reset the password in console properly.
    Thanks,

    Craig Epstein on 2/21/2002 answered:"James,In order to view the values for the following attributes: passwordExpirationTime passwordExpWarned, passwordRetryCount, retryCountResetTime, accountUnlockTime, passwordHistory, passwordAllowChangeTimethey must be specifically requested in an ldap search operation. For example, if the password policy is configured so that a user must wait 3 days before changing his password, an ldap search on the user's entry where passwordAllowChangeTime is specifically requested will return the absolute time when the password can be changed.General password policy for attributes such as passwordMustChange, is stored under the cn=config entry. So, if the LDAP database is configured so that users must change their passwords after a reset, the passwordMustChange attribute in this entry should be set to on.If you can be more specific, perhaps I can help further.Regards,Craig"

    THe Password policy is working the same in 5.1 as in the previous release (minus bugs).
    Password Reset only works when done by "Cn=directory manager".
