Lenovo G570 bios password
I set a Supervisor Password and an User Password for a Lenovo G570 Laptop, running an INSYDEH20 BIOS. Later I decided to exclude the passwords, so I entered in Setup press F2 and I selected Clear Password (something like this). Now when I turn on my laptop the message "Enter Current Password" appears. I put my old password... "invalid password", just press Enter... "invalid password" . I didn't forget the password, I just wanted to remove the password and now I don't know what's happening. How should I do for this matter?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
The issue was solved. I was using the numpad and when I put the password I used the numbers in "regular keyboard". I didn't know it's difference to digit a 9, for example, using the numpad and the "regular keyboard".

Hi everyone Does the new bios update will be released ? Thank you.
Hello yigit,
I'll contact to Lenovo technical service for this issue. But before contacting i would like to let you know that I found official 40CN22WW（1.09） bios for G470/G570 from China support page and i flashed bios with that version. It flashed the BIOS but same problem happened when it comes to EC. When i clicked on OK for flashing EC it freezed and nothing move so around 10 mins later i had to reset laptop by unplugging the battery. But when i enter the setup i saw that all INVALID gone and the correct values are there. So i can see model, uid and serial number in BIOS now. But the EC is same old one which i typed in 1st post.
When i saw this i wanted to flash BIOS with official 2.09 version. It flashed the BIOS and came to EC flashing. This time it become different. After flashing BIOS it asked me to flash EC, and i clicked on OK, after clicking OK around 6-7 seconds later this appeared;
IHIS:EC write error in SMI!
and after this one it reset the laptop by itself, i checked in the BIOS and the serial, model changed to INVALID again but BIOS version is 2.09 and EC is 2.04. So I reflashed the BIOS with 1.09 and now in BIOS no more INVALID but EC is still 2.04. I don't know maybe this version has an EC protection or something like that. Or maybe my laptop BIOS or EC is corrupted. I wanted to flash my BIOS at 1st just because of those fan noise with almost 100% speed. Even the temperature is 45 the fan runs like F1 race car I'll take this with this BIOS now and when i go to Adana where I bought this laptop I'll ask for technical help there. Beside all those except FAN runs too fast, there is no problem on laptop everything works fine. But i noticed that boot time is faster with this 1.09 bios, i don't know maybe this is a coincidence.
Thank you for your interest and replies. -
Lenovo G570 Bios Update Problem
Hello All,
I am new to this forum and before i ask my question sorry about my poor English.
I downloaded latest official bios from the lenovo support page for my laptop. The file name is InsydeFlasha_x64(v2.09).exe I followed all instructions written in the file which is shown in the support page. I right click on the file and run as administrator it checked the bios versions and asked me if i am sure to write new bios with some warnings such as not to shutdown and no unplug etc. I clicked ok and it started to flash and i can see the progress bar, after progress bar is full it asked me if i want to flash EC bios too. I just clicked OK and it just freezed. After around 20 mins it's still freezed and the fan is on with full speed. Then I pressed on power more than 4 seconds and nothing happened. Mouse didn't move, keyboard didn't work. I closed the lid i even closed the lid, it didn't off the leds too. So I unplugged the power and then battery and it shutdown. After plugging the battery i run the laptop and press F2 to enter setup. I saw that bios is 40CN23WW(v2.09) and EC Bios is 40EC05WW(v2.04). Beside all those the serial number is INVALID, model name is INVALID and something like in the miedle is FFF-FFFFFFF-FFF and so on...
I don't understand what I did wrong. Did it happen to anyone? How can i correct this? The laptop seems ok now working but the bios is the same above i wrote. all is INVALID. Hope anyone can help me?

Lenovo T400 Boot/Bios Password
Reinstalled the system, have set a boot and bios password. Stupidly I forget to write it down, now I cannot remember anymore.
Need help to reset the boot and bios password asap.
Type 6474-19G S/N xxxxxxx 08/11mrmail, welcome to the forum,
as far as the bios password is concerned; please refer to the T400 Maintainance Manual. Page 65 of the pdf would be a good place to start.
Other than that I'm afraid you need to remember what you entered as a password; the forum rules state;
No posts shall include instructions or directions intended to
subvert security measures, including passwords, locking mechanisms,
fingerprint scans, etc, nor shall any posts provide descriptions to the
location of, nor direct links to content related to these topics.
Sorry, I have to lock this thread.

Administrator Bios Password won't work on HP 4420s XT940UT#ABA Windows 7 64 Bit
Someone please help me with this!!
I bought this laptop from a friend (have a receipt) who sold it to me because the screen was cracked and all spidered out when you turned it on. Well everywhere he went to ask about getting the screen fixed it was very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said he would just get a newer laptop. So he sold me this one which is a HP4420s XT940UT#ABA Probook Model. About a week after I bought this Probook the friend who sold it to me died suddenly. This was sudden and terrible. Some time later I got around to buying the LCD screen for this model, replaced it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro edition 64 Bit. After installing all my software and using the laptop for quite some time now, I wanted to get into the Bios which I had never done. So when I started up the laptop, hit escape, then F10 to enter BIOS, there were two places to enter a password which is different then any Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees that I set up using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/Administrator. Well I can make most changes using the one I set up with my password however my password doesn't work nor can I get into some of the very important changes I wanted to make using the Bios/Administrator, like turning on the LoJack, figuring out the hard disk lock etc, turning on turbo boost, fan controls, etc. Well Since the person I bought it from is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to for the answer to this Administrator/BIOS password question / problem. I tried taking out the Rtype battery and resetting it that way, didn't work. I called HP multiple times and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS I have already, wouldn't let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and put in BiosConfigureUtility.exe nothing happens, just tells me wrong command. When I try to get into the BIOS going through the C: file into the SSM files, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open and it just flashes a small command page way to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop figuring I have so much time and money invested into it now. Could the problem have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bit I guess it originally came with? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is Windows 7 Pro Ultimate 64 bit compatible so that's what I installed. I get mixed answers from a lot of different people on this and would like a answer from an HP person who has experience dealing with the BIOS in the Business models of Probooks if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since became a major fan of HP over Dell and Lenovo products. I plan to buy two more probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, only better. Thank you for reading this and hopefully someone can help.
Model: HP Probook 4420s
Type: XT940UT#ABA
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate
BIOS Version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20
SM BIOS Version: 2.6
Hardware Extraction Layer: Version 6.1.7601.17514
This question was solved.
View Solution.once you log a support case with HP customer care, they will provide you once utility and steps to run it. which can capture the UUID. BTW- UUID is a unique ID for each machine (16 or more digits) stored in BIOS itself.
Once the utility results(UUID and other info) in the log file, shared with HP. they can generate a key file(SMC) to reset.
well, Technical support depertment can help you in it, no need to ask for any specific person or department.
hope it helps.

Web Camera doesn't work on my Lenovo G570 laptop, Please Help?
Well I recently bought a lenovo G570 laptop. The webcam worked fine for the first month. I don't really know when the camera stopped working but it seems that every software that uses a camera can detect the camera but when the video window pops up it is just plain white. I know the reason isn't because of the hot key FN+ESC because it works fine, I can disable and enable the camera. I read many threads with the same problem. I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers and easy capture but it does not solve my problem. Can someone please help?
As I understand the camera is not working.
If the camera is getting activate by Fn+Esc key then it could be driver issue.
You need to uninstall the camera software and other relates software.
Update the BIOS and then install the camera drier
Download the BIOS update for Windows 7 32bit from the mentioned below web link.

Some Keys are not working on Lenovo G570
Hello all
I am new here, looking for some help regarding my Lenovo G570.
Yesterday, it was working perfectly, I properly shut is down. I have set a BIOS pasword.
Today, when I switch it on, I was unable to type the pasword becasu some keys were not working. However, I managed to loged in with the help of On Screen Keyboard. After analysing it, I came to know that some keys on numpad includeing 0,2 and on the 2nd line(vertical numerical keys) 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,0 are not working. I tried to re-install the OS but I set a BIOS paswoed containing one of the missing keys.
Please let me know whether it is a software problem or should i take my laptop to some repairing shop?
Thanks
Solved!

If the external keyboard works fine and if the keypad is not working then it’s a issue with the keypad of the laptop.
Please visit the nearest service centre for further details.

New Lenovo G570 Teething Issues
Dear Lenovo-connected moderators, outriders and the like (Please note that in error I originally posted this to the other thread):
I just bought in Europe a new Lenovo G570. I have the following issues:
Since I always resize the C: partition I have removed the possibility of using one-key restore. It seems bizarre that Lenovo would force keeping the C: partition at its initial size. Surely it would be possible to write the one-key software to work around repartitioning the HDD. I did the resize of the C: partition immediately after purchase as part of my personal data and program installation and found out later about the requirement not to resize. Moreover, as far as I can recall there was no D: partition already installed, which I might have been able to live with (I prefer multiple data partitions). Any way to fix this problem? For I restored the C: partition to its original size but that didn't help; I couldn't get the recovery DVD's made; the one-key button was non-functional. What do I have to do to get the recovery features back? For I see that for very similar products a fresh install of Win 7 causes all kinds of problems, and in the absence of recovery DVD's that's really the only other option. I should point out that at the moment the computer is working; I'm just trying to do my preventative medicine for the day the computer crashes.
Lenovo's model numbering is very confusing, as is the Lenovo habit of updating system specs on the fly. My model name is 20079; my model number is CB01031166. If I download the current specs for the model from the Lenovo site (just did) they don't agree with what I have. Major differences are that my computer shipped with an Intel i5-2410M processor, a 640 GB HDD and with a separate ATI Graphics Card (Radeon Premium). Thanks, but this leads to issues about driver updates when I search for downloads for my computer on the Lenovo site. In particular, it's not clear to me whether I should be reflashing BIOS with the latest BIOS. On the thread about serious issues with the Idea Pad Z570, I saw recommended the reflashing of the BIOS. You might ask, well why would I go there? Because the Lenovo site does not support searching on models that are not branded Think Pad or Idea Pad. Mine's branded Essentials and it's just not recognized even in the automated search using the Internet Explorer. So searching for Lenovo G570, that's what a Google search turned up and the specs of the Z570 are extremely similar to the G570 I have. So if someone could tell me how to find the driver updates for my model, I'd be very grateful.
I see in the Z570 thread that if the CD is not the first boot priority then the WiFi doesn't work. Does this also apply to my model?
When I boot with an external Sata HDD attached (to see if BIOS will recognize it for boot purposes), the boot procedure freezes until I unplug the Sata HDD. Of course the external HDD is plugged into the USB port. This seems to be a problem with the BIOS, although admittedly I can't recall if the BIOS flash screen shows and it freezes after, or it freezes before it reaches the BIOS flash screen.
I also see that the fan that's always running is actually a serious warranty issue. I hadn't realized that it wasn't some quirk of my software. So here we are with a serious warranty issue. Update: 23/2/12. This does not seem to be a real problem on my machine at the moment. While the fan works more than I would have expected, it will shut down eventually once the computer is not doing anything. Possibly the actual software I'm using on the machine is causing heavy fan use. This is something of a relief.
According to the specs the computer ships with a USB/eSata port. And indeed there is a port in the right place that is different from the other USB ports. The port of course works with USB. However, its shape is not the usual eSatap shape. In particular it doesn't have the cutouts left and right for the usual eSatap jack. Instead it has a cutout at the top. But for the life of me and my dealer, there is nowhere on the Net where we can find an image of the Lenovo USB/eSata port and certainly nowhere where I can buy a jack/adaptor/external SATA disk that fits the Lenovo USB/eSata port.
Here's an image of my USB/eSata port. It's the middle of the three ports. Of course, on the left is something for TV that is irrelevant, and to the right is a normal USB port. How do I find anything to work with it at eSata speeds?
Thanks very much.Thanks for replying ExJamJus.
I will ask the local reseller, but I suspect they don't know more than anyone else. The problem is that the specs are very fluid on these units--after all, I have a ATI Radeon graphics card whereas the specs typically say that its an integrated (on-the-motherboard) Intel graphics card. Some places, as other users have noted, they do spec it as having an eSata/USB port, but there's just no plug available with that shape with any specification. My technician who sold me the computer thought that the only possibility was that the plug would be introduced later. He'd never seen one and he takes computers apart and fixes them.
As for the drivers, I installed all the drivers. Nothing terrible happened except as follows:
One of the ATI Radeon updates, for Hydravision I believe, comes to an end where kdbsync.exe can't start at boot time because Open.dll is missing. You can follow up on the Internet. The fix is to download Open.dll and put it in the proper folder in Program files. It works now--or at least I don't get an error message at boot time.
This is import for Lenovo: Lenovo energy management upgrade gave me the option to install on top of the old Lenovo energy management but it would require a reboot. So I did it. But what happened was that Lenovo energy management wouldn't start at boot time. I tried repair, no deal. So I had to completely uninstall Lenovo energy management and then do a fresh install. It works now. This is going to irritate people. Bad for business.
It's unclear in some of these cases just what driver is installed on the computer and it's not clear whether the driver installer programs are always coded to check whether the driver being installed is not older than the installed driver. So it makes it a little chancy to download and install a driver that was issued not long before the manufacture date of the product. -
Bricked laptop b/c of a major bug in the W530 BIOS password!?
I have purchased a W530 (model 2441CTO). I had to add a short/low security but convenient password to protect the BIOS. It that was exactly ** (star-star, easy to remember and fast to type on a French keyboard as it sits next to the Enter key). The BIOS accepted it without any warning.
Now when I reboot, the BIOS asks for the password. But it WILL NO MORE take into account any special character, including the stars, it just totally ignores them. I read (too late) that a dirty way around was to skip the special characters in the password. But in my case it leaves the password empty, and an empty password means read-only mode in the BIOS. By the way, it also does not check if the stored admin password is empty *before* it checks if the entered password is empty (a second programming mistake imho).
I spent a lot of time trying to understand until I read about such an issue that dates back to 2009 !!!
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/SL-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Undocumented-problem-with-BIOS-password/td-p/...
So my question is: what shall I do now?
Send it back for an exchange?
Would a BIOS upgrade (or downgrade+upgrade) bypass this one-way security?
I am really upset by my 1775 euro brick featuring a 4 year warranty that gets half-bricked in a week or so. I just cannot understand how such an ugly and MAJOR bug could go through unfixed till 2013. This is really a serious hit to lenovo reputation.
please do help!Empty password means no password. The discussion you reference is for an older machine where there was an option to make the bios settings visible but not changeable when there was a pw. I am not going to get into a discussion of how passwords are stored, but I will say that the data stored is encrypted and the date depends on the scan code of the key, so that a password can be entered on one type of keyboard and cleared on a different one. The data stored for an empty password or no password is all zeros.

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.

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!

My Lenovo G570 is working fine one day. When I try to use it a few days later, I receive a Windows boot error;
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
I thought "Oh great! Now I have to find my recovery disks!"... which I do have. Problem is when I try to load the BIOS by restarting the laptop and pressing F2, keep getting the same Boot error. The machine does not load the BIOS as I thought it would. I'm not sure what to do from here. I need access to the BIOS to change the boot order and have the machine read my recovery disk. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.hi poinsda,
Welcome to the Community.
Can you try the following:
1. Insert your Recovery Discs and try pressing F12 on startup - this displays a boot manager where you can select a boot device (i.e. HDD, CD/DVD, etc.) - select CD/DVD to boot from the Recovery Disc.
2. Turn off the machine and press the One Key Recovery button to trigger the built-in recovery feature on the HDD.
Note:
Loading the Recovery Discs or doing the One Key Recovery will wipe the machine and restore its factory settings
Let me know your findings,
neokenchi

Set BIOS Password during SCCM 2012 Task Sequence
Hi,
I search a solution for this problem.
I want to set a BIOS password during my unattended installation in the SCCM Task Sequence.
I know the Lenovo BIOS instructions:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/script.zip
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkcentre_pdf/crdeploy_en.pdf
With this you can change the BIOS settings during installation and you can change a BIOS password.
But not set a new one, if they do not have a password, on a new laptop!!?
I would not necessarily do it manually on +200 new laptops how can I solve this?
e.g. HP have a simple solution with the BIOSUtilityTool
thanks
best regardsWe believe allowing a scripted method of setting a BIOS password without a root of trust is a security vulnerability. For that reason we only allow changing a BIOS password via scripted means and the current password has to be provided. We do provide a service in manufacturing for setting the initial password to a known value which you could then use in a script to change to a more secure value.
