Hi,
Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or Elitebooks have more stringent security than consumer models - they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial No. and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case.
If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.

Signing on to my MAC after lost power in the house

I lost power in the house for about 15 seconds. Ever since then I am having trouble signing on to my Macbook. First time I try the mac asks me for my password that doesn't work(it should). I shut down and try again. The second time everything is fine. Anyone having this problem?

Try creating a new account and signing into that ... if it doesn't exhibit the problem, then I'd say you have a corrupted preferences file somewhere. You could try getting "applejack" (google it) and running that to attempt to locate any bad preference files and whatnot and clean them up (don't use auto mode, run each step individually and for the ones where you have the option to run a deep scan on specific users, make sure you have it check the user that you're having problems with). Applejack is free.

Hi Vicki,
You would have needed to create the reset flash drive when originally setting up the password for option you're prompted for to work.
If you normally sign-on with an email and password, you can reset the password via another PC from the Microsoft page on the following link.
https://account.live.com/password/reset
Alternatively, if this is a Local Account, try the free application Here.
A final option would be to reinstall the OS via the Recovery Partition or your Recovery Media - these options are described in the HP document on the following link.

T61 power on password

I tried to remove my poweron password but it had a supervisor password that I did not know so I removed the backup battery and upon putting it back, the power on password button still comes on and when I put my password it does not recognize the old password anymore
please can somebody help me

eafambu, welcome to the forum,
removing the backup battery is the correct proceedure to remove a power on password, as stated in the Hardware Maintainance Manuals and the Lost or forgotten password - ThinkPad General site, you will also see that it is not possible to delete the supervisor passord without knowing it.
You options are to remember the password, find it out if you purchased the system from a previous owner or contact support who will more than likely suggest you replace the mainboard.
It states in the forum rules;
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, thread locked.

Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1.
The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios.
I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on.
I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29...
This is what I did so far"
I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound.
I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377 but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt.
I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
Thank you very much,
Mark

try reflashing your bios?

I lost power to my MacBook Pro before I had saved anything that I was working on...usually I plug my computer it and power it back on and the documents pop right back up when the computer turns on. That did not happen this time. How can I recover my documents?

If you never saved, auto save does not kick in.

As we were instructed I attempted to download the new Adobe Cloud to replace Adobe CS6 as it is about to expire. It had been downloading for about an hour when I lost power due to a storm. It was only off 20 minutes. When it came back up it had stopped because my internet of course was also off. Now I have tried to do it again and it tells me “that number has already been approved and uploaded” However, it has not because I do not have the cloud programs yet. I still have my CS6 but I am not sure what to do from here. Can you assist with this please?

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by

On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

Don't know power on password for hp touchsmart 520-1020 windows 7 64 bit

My touchsmart 520-1020 was powered off and when it came back on it was asking for a power on password. Can anyone help me with this? Please? when i enter a random password three times it doesn't give me a code. it shows a key each time i press enter after entering a password and after the third time it has an asterik. and then no more options. the date is shown at the bottom right hand corner.

Hello cmeryers76:
Your password should be the same one you use to log into windows. Why you are seeing a date is be yound me. This seems more like a bad virus or malware. If your sign in password still fails. Unplug the computer while this screen is still being displayed. This is what we call fource restart. Ounce the computer is completely off plug it back in and turn on your computer you should start up in safe mode screen option use arrow keys select safe mode with net working. Close out help and support window. Locate the the recovery manger and Click yes in prompt window if displays then select Microsoft System Restore in next two screens click on next You well eventually end up with dates listed choose a date before this event occurred then click next follow all command promts. Ounce recovery point has been completed run your antivirus software. Then do a PC Tune Up. Go to your control pannel and open up Performance Information and Tools select Adjust power settings on the right hand side. Then select Choose when to off the display. Next window switch all boxes to never. You will never have to worry about this ever again. On top of that the issues you face trying to wake up the computer from sleep mode.
If the same screen displays on start up by a chance then unplug the computer hold down power button for five secounds then plug it back in turn on computer tap f-8 key follow above recovery steps. If this fails to open in safe mode. Then full recovery is only option requires recover discs. Power off the computer turn it on and tap f-10 key and insert disc one of recovery disc follow all command prompts. Ouce fullrecover is completed follow the above dirrections for the display settings above switch all thee settings to never. frrw

Fingerprint instead of power on password not working any more

Hi,
my current configuration is T530i model 2392.
I recently updated BIOS to version 2.52 from 12. Feb. 2013 and of course some other software especially solid state drive firmware Version FWSS28 from 14. Feb 2013.
In BIOS Predesktop Authentication is enabled in addition with harddisk password and power on password.
Now to my problem:
before updating I software I could start with only swiping my finger over fingerprint sensor, without providing any kinde of password for harddisk or power on password. I received information about success & windows 7 (64 bit) was booting.
Now I need to provide power on password all the time, seems that fingerprint or BIOS now has a bug ?!
I did several things like:
disabling every password request in BIOS rebooting...
disabling deleting fingerprints on laptop and rebooting...
unchecked all necessary settings in fingerprint security software like SSO, power-on-password, fingerprint sensor should replace power on / hard disk password..... reboooting...
- then enabled everything again which I unchecked before.... rebooting....
Nothing has worked so far, so there it seems to be a bug in predesktop authentication...
Could you please advice or provide a fix ?
Rgds

Hi,
here short terms how I fixed it:
- opened fingerprint program & disabled everything which is of concern for authenticating with fingerprint
- deleted fingerprint with that software too
- disabled biometric device with windows tools
- deleted TPM with tpm.msc
- removed everything from BIOS regarding fingerprint, password for booting, hdd, etc
- resetted fingerprint with bios too
- loaded bios setup default (cause it was a BIOS update)
- shut down computer
- startup again and set everything in BIOS which is needed and has been disabled before
- did the same in windows (enabled everything again)
- rebootet.... prayed... computer prompts with "fingerprint matched" ==> first YEAH
- provided boot up password once....
- shutdown again....
- started with enrolling fingerprint only.... no prompt for password any more.... second YEAH
DONE
