Lenovo Solution Center (LSC.EXE) asking for administrator password

Hello,
On my ThinkCentre I have configured an administrator account and two user accounts.
The machine is running Lenovo Solution Center.
When working with the user accounts (no admin privileges) the LSC.EXE program keeps coming up and asking for the administrator password.
Does anyone have a hint on how to stop this?
Best regards
MSche
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There's no solution for it - this is by design.  LSC cannot function without admin rights.
ADMIN Edit -
Updated versions of LSC should address this.
Please try version 2.4.003 or later

    That password should be the one you used on the system *before* you do the upgrade.
    If you got the computer used from someone else, you need to get in touch with them and get the password.

  • Mavericks asking for administration password. I never had one.

    My Maxbook Air which i bought from Apple.ca last year came with the latest Lion OS.
    Now Im installing Mavericks its asking for an administrator  password which i never had.
    Suggestions.

    After downloading Mavericks from AppStore it prepares installation files and it usually requires admin access to do so. I got a prompt asking for admin password as well. But you can just click enter ( return ) without entering any password if you didnt set one. And it should go ahead fine. If that doesn't help report back

  • I cannot install a  Mavericks software program on mac. it asks for administrator password. i never have set up an admin password on computer.

    i cannot install recently downloaded Mavericks software on computer. it asks for admin password. i have never set up an admin password and was able to install programs by passing this step. any help isappreciated,

    Not having a password means that any casual passer-by can have access to all your personal data, or deleting it.

  • Asked for administrator password during mavericks install

    Trying to install Mavericks.  During installation, I was asked to provide my administrator password.  I've never had a password on my Mac before.   I've tried my usual suspects, but nothing works.  I'm confident I've never set up an administrator password before.  Anyone know how I can get around this--or at least give me some hints on how I can recover the password that I'm sure has never existed?

    OK. Now I understand. There are certain operations that can not be done from a non-admin account if the admin account password is blank. It's been this way for quite a while, but you probably just never happened to hit on it before this.
    It's a security thing...

  • Lenovo Solution Center LSC Warranty Upgrade

    How can I have the Warranty infomormation updated so that it accurately reflects the new warranty.
    I have plenty of information indicating the Warranty I have has been successfully upgraded/Updated/Extended however LSC still indicates the warranty is old. I would like for the software to recognize this update/extention so that I dont get the notice.

    Version 1.1.006 of LSC has been released on 4/20 that fixes warranty reporting issues. You can update to this new version by accepting the upgrade when launching an older version of LSC.  The web download version referenced at www.lenovo.com/diags will be updated shortly

  • Why does Lenovo Solution Center keep running every time I log back on?

    Hi all,
    Have a Thinkpad L430.
    Every time I log back into my user account on the laptop, whether from fresh boot, sleep or hibernate, within a few minutes I get interrupted by the Windows 7 User Account Control asking me if I want to allow lsc.exe to run.
    If I view details it says it is program location '"C:\Prgam Files\lenovo\lenovo solution center\lsc.exe" -updatestatus'.
    I've no problem with the machine checking for updates but a) I'd rather it did it when the daily Windows Home Server backup is running (i.e when I'm still asleep and not actively using the computer) and b) I'd like to know if there's any way to allow this program to run as admin so it doesn't keep interrupting me
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should be able to disable it in the LSC dashboard.  I will download LSC and locate it for you. 
    *edit*  Launch LSC>Dashboard View>Edit>Drag "Updates" or any unneeded item to the right "Events not monitored" section to disable.

  • Q190 and Lenovo Solution Center Software

    Is the latest available Solution Center Software compatible with--or intended to be used on--the Q190 "entertainment" PC?  My version says I need a driver update, bu they are all current.
    The only download source I can find within Lenovo does not list the Q series computers as compatible--yet an earlier verson of SC came preloaded on the machine.
    Thanks for any available insight.

    Hi Z34jcm,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to inform you that the LSC (Lenovo Solution Center) is not available for Q190 Desktop. Below is the link to download the compatible version of LSC, while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error:

  • Hardware Scan Failure using Lenovo Solution Center G580

    I have a G580 Laptop, it's lessa than a year old now.
    I use both Hard Disk Sentinel (HDS) and Lenovo Solution Center (LSC).
    HDS showed an alert that one weak sector has been found.
    LSC gave this result code after the hardware scan WHD01V00I-HJ9C1E, it failed the "Targeted read test" and "SMART short self-test". How can I fix these problems and what do they mean?
    Thank you.

  • ISSUE: Lenovo Solution Center update resets all Settings!

    Longstanding problem continues with update to 2.0.020: When Lenovo Solution Center (LSC) updates, all Settings are reset, wiping out options to suppress certain screens and alerts. While not a functionality issue, it's very annoying to have to configure LSC all over again after evey update, so much so that some of my clients stop updating (one client called it the Lenovo Annoyance Center, and removed it entirely), so please fix this issue. Thank you.
    Hope that helps,
    John

    We're aware of this issue and agree it is very annoying, especially since LSC updates itself so often.  LSC team tells me fixing it is a priority for an upcoming release (either 2.1 or 2.2).  Sorry for this inconvenience caused by LSC.

  • Windows 8 - Lenovo Solution Center claiming problem wih disabled printer (but it's not disabled)

    I have an HP printer for which I needed to replace the stock Windows 8 printer driver with HP's full featured driver.  Since I did that, Lenovo Solution Center [LSC] complains (under Check-up> Device Manager) that "one or more devices have problems" and it lists my Officejet 4500 G510n-z as "disabled".  When I go to device manager to check the status of my printers, I see a print queue category of devices, and all of them, including the two associated with the printer, are enabled and "working properly".
    Under what circumstances does Solution Center determine that a device is disabled?  How do I convince Solution center it is making the wrong assessment ;-)....or perhaps there is something wrong but looking at Device Manager doesn't tell me so???  Is there another place I should check?
    I finally solved the wan miniport problem (thanks to other posters), so now I have 1 problem left to fight to be able to rid myself of unwarranted exclamation marks from LSC.

    I have same problem after completely installing the HP full solution driver and application support for the printer. It's the "Multifunction Adapter" category in Device Manager that causes LSC to show the error. I already have a Z: Sendto device that corresponds to the SD Card for the printer, but have nothing inserted. If I attempt to Update Driver for the multi-function adapter, it's not finding driver on Internet (Windows Update) and not finding a signed driver for Windows 8 under Update Driver, Printer driver support if you choose the locate on c: drive and point to the correct HP printer. Interesting also, I have three "discovered" HP printers, all showing "Disabled" Multi-Function adapters under Device Manager by LSC.

  • Lenovo solution center errors out on launch for task bar

    Whenever I open the Lenovo solution center, I get this error.
    Http Comunication Error
    The following Monitors has encountered some error:
    JSON parsing failed: LargeEnterpriseMonitor
    Then, it will periodically crash until I restart.
    This is a new G505 (3 months old). It has done this on Win8 and it still does it on Win8.1
    Also note the extensive spelling errors and grammar. I'll live with that if I can get by the errors

    Hi Mikend,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that the LSC (Lenovo Solution Center) is displaying an error message even after upgrading to Windows 8.1 in your G505, I suggest you to re-install the LSC for the Windows 8.1 while installing right click on the downloaded LSC file and select “Run as administrator” and check if the issue persist.
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.
