How to delete a BIOS password (Satellite A30) - please help

Hello. In the company I work there was a Toshiba Satellite A30 that had a BIOS password set.
I was asked to remove the password and, inside the BIOS, I was able to clear the password (at least that is what I thought at first):
BIOS asked for the current password and I typed it, then asked for a new password and I just pressed the ENTER key, and when I was asked to retype the new password I pressed the ENTER key again.
After that, I saw that BIOS showed "PASSWORD (clear)" and I saved the changes and exit.
To my surprise, I was asked for a password again, I just pressed the ENTER key and it showed an "INCORRECT PASSWORD" message, and the same message when I type the old password!!!
I don't know if there was a Toshiba password when the computer was bought, but the manual that I downloaded from here does not mention that.
Is there a way to fix this? I can't understand what may have happened!
VERY MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE and thanks again for reading.

Hello
If the right password is not known to you there is no way to remove them. It can be removed only by Authorized service partner. Please contact them and they will do it for you. I assume that this can not be expensive.

  • How to delete already migrated message class? Please help!

    Hi Experts,
       Few days back I have migrated a custom message class from development to test environment.
       Now I found that this message class is not required. Therefore I deleted the same in development environment.
       While deleting I did not get any prompt for transport request.
       How do I delete the same in test environment? Do I need to do anything in transport request?
       Please help!
    Thanks & Regards
    Gopal

    Hi Satyajit,
       In DEV I have deleted the message class. While deleting it asked me for transport request and created a new transport request.
       Now in transport request I can see there is an entry for the message class but there is noway to identify if this will delete the same in target system when transported.
       How will the transport request understand that a particular entry has to be deleted or created or modified?
    Thanks

  • How to delete user on OS X? please help

    I accidentally added this user when I first setup the laptop, I tried so many ways and still couldn't delete it. Please help me to delete it. It really bothers me! thank you so much !!

    As it has a Home folder icon, that appears to be your currently logged in account?
    You delete accounts in the Users & Groups System Preferences.
    Log in as an Admin-capable user (not the one you are deleting).
    In Users & Groups, click the Padlock to authenticate and unlock the prefpane.
    Select the user from the list, then click on the – button.
    It will ask what you want to do with the home folder, delete, archive, or leave as is.

  • How to push a BIOS password

    Hello,
    I've build a Task Sequence that includes a reboot and I wondered if it is possible to 'bypass' or include the BIOS password in any way in the Task Sequence so the computer does not get 'stuck' while rebooting.
    The (Dell) laptops in our company all have the same "Admin Password" and an individual "System Password". This System Password is set by the end-user himself.
    With Dell laptops (don't know about others), if you don't know the System Password, you can continue the boot sequence by entering the Admin Password. So only 1 password is actually needed..
    I looked into the
    Dell OpenManage Client Intrumentation (OMCI) 8.2 application and figured out how to erase the BIOS passwords with PowerShell with this command:
    (gwmi DCMI_BIOSService -Namespace root\dcim\sysman).SetBIOSAttributes($null,$null,"AdminPwd","","ourpassword",$null)
    Though I prefer NOT to erase the Admin and System Password of about 1000 users just to be able to continue an installation ;)
    Is there any other way to solve this problem?

    If these are Dell Enterprise computers, you can use the
    cctk.exe tool from the
    Dell Client Configuration Toolkit.
    Create an SCCM package from this tool, and you can use it in your Task Sequence:
    - Before reboot: Remove password. --> cctk.exe --setuppwd= --valsetuppwd=<currentPassword>
    - After reboot: Set password. --> cctk --setuppwd=<password>

  • How to delete saved login/password on your device

    How to delete saved login/password on your device without having to delete ALL of them and start over!
    I hated this, becuase if i accidentally saved an incorrect login/password, and deleted it, it deleted ALL of my login/passwords for all websites.  NOT ANY MORE!!!!
    you can delete one at a time and chose which to do so by opening your microb web browser (standard internet browser on the n900)
    then type in this address:
    chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul
    then you will be able to scroll and delete INDIVIDUALLY the ones you dont want on your device, leaving all the good ones!
    enjoy.

    you cannot create a shortcut/bookmark directly with this. but you can go around it and create one anyway.
    to do this,
    open a browser to google or what you want.
    tap the + to create a new bookmark
    change the name to (ie-password files)
    change the link to: chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul
    and now you have a shortcut/bookmark so you dont have to remember the link.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

    Hi There is a ghost search bar on my iMac that flashes continually, even during start up and shut down. How can i make this go away? Please help. x

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    You will need data recovery software. See this post:

    And please send feedback to Apple: This is a bug. Only the imported photos should have been deleted, not all photos on the card. You can use this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
