  • Missing firmware password, can't access boot options

    Hi,
    I own a Macbook Pro (13") which I bought from Ebay a few months ago. I recently changed my password to my administrator account, but I cannot remember it. I know of several bypasses to this, but as I attempt each one, they all seem blocked by a firmware password. I have tried contacting the original owner, but he does not remember what he set that as. I'm locked out of all boot options and my administrator account, I'm typing this now from the guest account which I enabled a while ago. Solutions?

    If your MacBook is one of the following models there is no way to circumvent a firmware password, outside of a trip to the Apple Store:
    MacBook Air (Late 2010) and later, MacBook Pro (Early 2011) and later, iMac (Mid 2011) and later, Mac mini (Mid 2011): Recovering a lost firmware password
    Resolution
    Only Apple retail stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers can unlock these computers protected by a firmware password.

  • Blue hp circle on black screen, can\'t access boot options for recovery disk

    I installed Symantec full disk encryption and encrypted the hard drive. Then I restarted the pc. I get a black screen with a blue HP logo in the center. Message at the bottom right sysa press the ESC key for startup menu, but no key works. Every key pressed gets a beeping sound. If I turn power off and then on and press the different f keys, I get different messages but still no response from any keys.
    Symantec sent me a recover disk to deencrypt the drive but I can't get the pc to load from the drive. Any thoughts?. I have hard reset the pc twice ( battery and power cord out, hold power button for 30 seconds)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I would remove the hard disk and then power up the notebook to see what response the BIOS has.
    From your description of the problem, it sounds as if you may have encrypted the entire disk instead of just the C: volume or the BIOS ROM file is corrupt.
    You should be able to get past the  HP screen to enter the BIOS.
    The BIOS should give complain that it cannot find a drive with a bootable OS.
    If that does happen, and you have the recovery disk set or usb recovery media, life is good and you will need to take a look at the Symantek forum to see how to proceed with your encrypted disk.
    If it does not then, the problem lies with the BIOS on the system board. 
    Pressing the Esc key and having the startup menu appear is conditional on the BIOS being in good condition. Yours may be corrupt. Try downloading a BIOS softpaq on another PC, extracting the BIOS ROM file and putting it on the root of a usb thumbdrive. Put the thumbdrive in a USB port in the notebook. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Windows key and begin tapping the B key. If this works and you see an led flash, release the keys and wait. the process should  load a clean BIOS file to replace the corrupted one. This takes time, so be patient if you see a flashing led or no reaction from the notebook for a couple of minutes.
    Post your results here and we can move on to the next steps you can take.
    Best regards,

  • My LG Optimus Zone is having software issues and I can't access the Recovery Menu for a Factory Reset

    My LG Optimus Zone is having software issues and I can't access the Recovery Menu for a Factory Reset. It was working fine until I went to activate it and update the PRL. It turns on, but Freezes on the LG Logo. it currently goes into the LG Download Mode, and When I restore with LG's Mobile Support Tool, It finishes, reboots, and stays at the boot Logo. I was wondering if I can possibly get a replacement phone? This is a little upsetting, as i was hoping to have it transfered from prepaid to postpaid service next month

  • Can't access Tools/Options/Applications in FF 12.0

    Every time I try to do the following in FF 12.0, the browser stops responding/hangs/freezes/basically says "sorry, dude:"
    1. Download files either by right clicking and choosing "save" or clicking directly on it. This includes email attachments, videos, etc. I also cannot attach files to emails since the same thing happens the moment I hit "Browse."
    2. Cannot access Tools/Options/Applications, usually getting the same results. In my various attempts to resolve this, I have been able to open that window, but the space where file associations are listed is empty.
    If it's any help, when I've reverted back to FF 3.5.1.9, I can do all those things ... I just can't get "Words With Friends" to load in Facebook.
    What I have done in an attempt to correct this issue:
    1.) Everything, including deleting the various .rdf files, etc.
    2.) Tried starting in safe mode, using every possible variation.
    3.) Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox around a hundred times, removing personal settings and cleaning the registry each time.
    4.) Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and Java three or four times each.
    5.) Everything.
    I am at my wit's end, thus the request for help. Unfortunately, if someone offers a solution, I've probably tried it.
    Additional information: I did use firetune once, returned to the backup configuration I created, used it again and returned to the backup again. This seems to be right around the time the problems began, but I'm not positive.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Running WinXP Media, 512MB RAM, 32-bit, etc.

    Actually, Matt, I have tried that, but I certainly am willing to try again. Do you suggest deleting the current profile and all its settings, deleting the profile and keeping the personal settings, or just adding another complete profile in addition to the one that currently exists?

  • How can I access the option selected in ui:radioButtonGroup in javascript

    Hi,
    I'd like to access the option selected in ui:radioButtonGroup in my javascript.
    I tried doing something like this to no avail:
    <ui:radioButtonGroup binding="#{ReportParameter.reportTypeButtonGroup}" id="reportTypeButtonGroup" items="#{ReportParameter.reportTypeButtonGroupDefaultOptions.options}" onClick="common_timeoutSubmitForm(this.form, 'table:tr:td:reportTypeButtonGroup');" valueChangeListener="#{ReportParameter.reportTypeButtonGroup_processValueChange}"/>
    function say_hello ()
           var myVar2 = document.getElementById("form1:reportTypeButtonGroup");
            alert("Value is againg: " + myVar2.value);
    }but this always returns the first option. How would I access what value the user selected? Also, I cannot find any docs on how I would access fields of jsf components through javascript. Are there any books, links or resources I can follow so that I can use javascript in my jsf applications?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    yes, i should expand.....the external hard drive i link iphoto to has had an error and basically the iphoto package is hoarding all of my photos so i'm searching everywhere i can to piece back the 1 TB of photos that are gone. data recovery is too expensive from what i have found so i'm left trying to do this! i have another external drive that backs up my entire system on a regular basis throughout the day. i was able to recover the iphoto library from a few months ago before it was deleted (it had been backed up). so i'm only missing a few months of photos now. i was hoping if i could access the trash files (if they're backed up on this drive) that i would find photographs that had been on my desktop and then i'd put in the trash......does that help clarify??? so i basically want to look in the trash bin that was backed up in several files on this drive (IF that's even possible!) thanks for your help!!!

  • I can't access the 'options' in iTunes visualizer menu

    Hello everyone. Hope someone can help me with a problem re:iTunes Visualizer. I can't access the Visualizer Options no matter what I'm in, such as my music library, the Radio function, etc. I've upgraded to 10.6 & restarted iTunes and rebooted. I've also updated my Quicktime but I still see the 'Options' grayed out. The path I use is: View>Visualizer>Options. I've previously had no trouble running the Visualzer and selecting the Options till I upgraded to 10.6 Now, 'Options' is always dimmed. I've tried switching between the new Visualizer and the Classic, but no luck either way. Can someone tell me how to enable the Options? Thanks.

    i get a unknown error 11222.
    There's some info on your error message number in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

    the battery on my zen microphoto is dead;

    any suggestions?

    Here's a locked menu in action.

    It's an Ad-Hoc solution, because I had the take the shaded bar at the top into account. Will fixed that later.
    The bar at the top of this page and the other pages is a solution to have the bar stretch the width of the page when you resize the browser window.
    It cannot be done in iWeb itself. You need a JavaScript.
    So you get two solutions for the price of one.
    Here's the JavaScript :
    Apparently Discussions does not accept all the JavaScript code.

  • I can't access "Advanced Options" in my User Account for Mac OSX

    I cannot access the "Advanced Options" menu when I right click on my user account in System Preferences.  When I right click, the option shows up, but nothing happens when I click on it.  It does allow me to access it for other users, as I am the administrator. 
    I think I have a problem with my login shell, because I also cannot access Terminal.  I was trying to access the Advanced Options to select a user shell.  Any ideas?

    Hi Will,
    You would simply need to create a new user account (with a different name) and then transfer all of the data from your current user account, to the new one.
    You could try a permissions repair first, or resetting the ACLs for your account.
    Open Disk Utility, and choose Macintosh HD, then 'Repair Disk Permissions' and let that run.
    For the ACLs:
    Insert the OS X install disc, restart and hold down 'C'. Once booted to the install disc, choose Utilities -> Reset Password. In the bottom of that window, you should see "Reset Home Folder ACLs", click 'Reset', then click the Mac OS X Install DVD" and choose 'Quit Installer'

  • Is there any way to quickly access the options menu without clicking "Firefox/Options"?

    I want to be able to quickly jump to the Firefox Options menu without having to click the "Firefox" button and then "Options" after. The reason I want to do this is because I want to be able to quickly change fonts, and I also want to quickly allow/disallow websites from using their own font and background colors. The bright whites that websites often use hurt my eyes. Some websites don't work properly if they aren't allowed to use their own font and background settings, so I have to switch it back and forth, depending on the website. It is annoying to have to go through multiple Firefox menus every time I change my font and background settings. A quick keyboard shortcut or a button press to access options or allow/disallow font and background settings would be great. Any help?

    One alternative solution would be to investigate some of the add-ons available. Some of these may need a bit of setting up but then modify how websites display.

    About this Add-on
    Having a hard time reading on the web? Is that website with the ridiculously small font and hot-pink-on-slightly-darker-hot-pink text raising your blood pressure? NoSquint can:
    Override the default text-only and full-page (both text and images) zoom levels for all websites
    Enforce your own foreground and background colors
    Remember your zoom levels and color settings per site, automatically applying them when you return.
    Disagree with what NoSquint calls a site? A powerful exceptions mechanism lets you split up or group together sites with URL patterns.
    A second alternative if you are good with the keyboard is to use keyboard existing shortcut sequences. I do not know them offhand for Windows, but they are not likely to be particularly convenient unless well learnt and used frequently.
