Locked out due to Toshiba Password Utility

Last night I was browsing my laptop before bed and I came across the Toshiba Password Utility. I opened the utility, entered credentials, clicked next. It asked me to enter more credentials, clicked next, finished (as far as I remember). This morning I woke and turned on my laptop. A screen with a back background, keyboard, and text boss with the text "Enter Password" launches before arriving at the Windows login screen. I don't know what happened because when I enter the password I used last night, I get the message "Validation Error!!" I must have "fat fingered" the credentials, which seems odd to me as you have to enter them twice for the program to accept them. I don't know what to do. I have been trying for hours and hours and hours to guess the password. I called Toshiba technical support very early this morning and the guy said he could not help me. I bought the laptop in July of this year. I called the paid technical support and left a message, but have not heard back. I have no idea what to do? Help!!

Is there anyone out there who can help me with this? I've spent hours on the phone with Toshiba technical support and the guys don't know anything but very basic stuff. I've tried calling the Toshiba "paid" technical support and they never return my phone calls. I've taken it to a computer repair shop and they did not know how to fix it. I've taken it to Best Buy to return it, but they said it would take 3-4weeks for it to go back to Toshiba and get me laptop back. I've taken apart the laptop, tried power cycling, hitting the JCMOS, JEPM, and JPW jumpers. I've tried booting from a flash drive, it can't. I can't even enter the BIOS setup. I don't know what to do. I just have a big paperweight! Please someone help if you can!

    Iphone is locked but I can't restore because "find my iphone" is on. I'm prompted to turn it off in settings but, obviously, I can't because I'm locked out due to too many incorrect passcode attempts.  What should I do?  PS: I downloaded IOS7 today.  My passcode was never enabled!  But after I installed the new software it automatically turned it on.  I hadn't used it in so long, I couldn't remember my last passcode, hence the lockout. 

    Hello 199Seth
    Reset the password and that will take care of activating your iPhone.

  • User locks out, due to 5 invalid login attempts after the server running

    Hi ,
    I HAC on WLS 10.3.2 (Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)).
    user locks out, due to 5 invalid login attempts just after the server comes into running state.
    But the strange thing is Customer is not trying to login into it.
    we unlocked the user, after logging into the console with a different user.
    Customer knows the username and password
    Still the issue appears after few minutes.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • TS1544 Locked out due to unknown keychain password

    I recently restarted my mac mini and have had a serious problem. I am continually asked for keychain passwords and have never set one at all. I looked on the support page and went into the settings to reset my keychain password but the page has the lock on it and asks for a different password to make changes and i dont know it either. Is there any way I could bypass this or remove the program completely? thanks for your help.

    Same exact issue on a mac mini. My problem is exacerbated as it is a mac mini that is in charge of a fleet of supervised iPads. Apple configurator is asking for "Local Items" Keychain access and every password that I have ever used does not work. So I am locked out of Configurator and thus all of those iPads.
    When I go to KEychain access there are no entires in the Local Items Keychain.

  • I got locked out and changed the password. it did not work and now its disabled for 60 minutes. I dont use itunes, or icloud. how can I get in and why wont it work.

    I am locked out of my iphone. I changed the password and it still wont work. I changed it again and it is now disabled. I do not use itunes, icloud. How can I get into my iphone? I have changed my password and its not working. how can I start over?

    Follow the instructions in this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode.

  • Email sub-account locked out due to too many log in attempts.

    Hi All, If someone has had this issue can you share how to get around this?  When I try to log into my sub-account it sends me an access code.  But the code brings me to my primary email account, not the sub-account.  Thanks in advance for any help on this! VAFrank

    Been on hold for over two hours on three different calls -- I guess Verizon tech support is off the holiday?   Must be nice!   Meanwhile, can't get to email on sub account!   This is a sad joke!!   You mean that I will be locked out of this email until they decide to take calls again?  There is NO reason why I should not be able to correct this from the web without having to speak to anybody!  Totally unaccepable.   I had better control over sub-accounts with Comcast. Oh, well.  I thought Verizon had their act together better than Comcast with customer service and web tools but evidentally I was wrong.   With Comcast it was simple -- I paid their bills but never lost service and could fix anything myself.   With Verizon, I pay pretty much the same amount for same service but at least I could fix issues suich as this -- I rarely had to call Comcast for tech support -- I've had to call Verizon THREE TIMES to fix this same issue in six months from hiccups with password programs -- I shouldn't see "NULL" for the secret question -- nor should I see the main account when I get locked out of the sub-account and go through the process to get the text code on the phone and whatnot, then get sent to the password settings for the main account -- that is sloppy!  Worse, while I see "NULL" for my secret question -- the voice agents can see the question because they ask me for the secret answer!  Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy! Worse, Verizon has no explanation for this unacceptable nonsense and has to know about it because I've brought it up with agents.  That tells me Verizon simply doesn't care or is satisfied with how things are.   I can get just as lousy customer service from Comcast but, as I said, at least I could fix issues such as this with clear instructions on the Comcast customer page -- no "hidden" or "special" links like what was mentioned earlier in this thread, which don't work anyway now if they did at one time!   I was with Comcast for 10 years, never, ever had a situation where I couldn't unlock an account.    So, counting the days until my contract is over!   A year and a half, sadly.

  • IPhones cause windows accounts to lock out due to activesync

    We have 200+ iPhones in our environment, all of which are causing their respected user accounts to lock out after the users change their password.  It appears that they unlike their Android counterparts are not syncing their password through ActiveSync like they should.  Bug exists from iOS 6

    Sorry. You're just plain wrong. Where, exactly, do you think the phone is supposed to get the new password from? AD? Sorry. That's not going to happen. It would be a huge security problem if password changes were automatically pushed out to every connected device. What would you do if an account was compromised? Changing the password would no longer fix the problem.
    I AM an Exchange admin.
    This is a user education problem, plain and simple.

  • IPad2 IOS 7 updated, now locked out, there is no password. Restore backup does not work. HELP

    I updated my iPad2 to OS 7 last night and chose to NOT use a passcode because I have an important mtg today and didn't want any problems.
    NOW... I am locked out of my iPad2 and spending two hours trying to get this resolved. My day is almost ruined now.
    HOW DO I UNLOCK MY IPAD2 WITHOUT A PASSCODE ??????
    I had a full schedule previously, and this is KILLING me. I connected my iPad2 to my computer and it synced. I cannot use "restore backup" because of find my ipad app. I cannot turn off "find my ipad" because I am locked out of the machine. I am SO frustrated and the lack of support is killing me as well.

    The way to resolve this issue is to restore the phone. Now if you do not have a back up in iCloud or iTunes you will lose your content. If you backed up after the passcode lock was set up on the phone, you will have to choose to set up as new and lose all your content. Now iTunes will state that it cannot recognize or restore the phone as it has a passcode lock on it.
    1)In order to get past this you will hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time.
    2)When the apple symbol comes up on the device you will release only the power button.
    3)Next an iTunes symbol, arrow, and usb cord will show up on the phone. At this time release the home button. 4)iTunes on your computer will prompt you with a message stating "iTunes has detected an "device" in recovery mode." You will click okay and then restore the phone.
    5)Allow the download to process, times will vary.
    6)Upon completion, go through the set up on the phone and pay close attention to the pages that you are on.
    7)There will be a page prompting you to put in a passcode. You will have the option to skip it if you do not want it on your device.
    8) And finally, I have spoken with James and these are the steps to resolve the issue. Please do not call him as currently he is being overwhelmed with calls and stated that he cannot take calls from customers that he has not worked with already. Please feel free to send me any questions you have as I will also be able to provide you steps to resolve your issue.

  • HT5622 I am locked out and set a password under restrictions and forgot password

    Hey Lrios67,
    I found an answer to your question. It turns out that if you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
