Portege R700 protected by unknown BIOS password

Can anyone help with this problem.
At our site we have approx 300 of these laptops and they are all bios protected.
Recently had a problem where when inputting the bios password and it says its incorrect even though its the standard password we use on all our laptops. The user also confirms they didn't set a password...
Is it possible for the bios to somehow have become currupted (the machine was experiencing blue screens before) or how can I factory reset the bios password.
Before anyone says yes we own the machince and can prove it!

Maybe it sounds stupid but I think you should clarify this with nearest Toshiba service provider.
I use Toshiba notebooks for years now and I know for sure that Toshiba doesnt sell notebooks with any kind of password or such kind of protection.
If you have such amount of notebooks maybe there was some special dial about configuration or protection. Anyway, BIOS password removal cannot be theme on such public forum. BIOS password protection is very important security feature and if there is some problem it must be clarified with authorized Toshiba service provider.
BIOS password cannot be set or changed from alone and, as far as I know, there is no kind of factory reset. I just know that BIOS can be set to default settings. Thats all.
Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and clarify this issue.

  • Tecra M3: How can I reset or bypass a unknown BIOS password

    My brother passed away last year and left a Toshiba Tecra M3 protected by a Bios password. How or where can I resest this password.
    I have good computer background by this one proved to be a chalenge please help.

    Hi
    I am afraid that you will be not able to bypass or to delete this unknown BIOS password
    Of course, the BIOS password could be deleted on the desktop PC by removing the BIOS battery but the notebook technology is simply different and this procedure will not help
    You have to contact the ASP in your country who is able to do it.
    or ask you brother for the password ;)

  • L755-S5216 Due to unknown BIOS password unable to boot to optical drive for recovery

    Unable to access BIOS or change Boot Order due to unknown BIOS password.  Called Toshiba Tech Support and they say they don't have a MoBo diagram or sevrice manual so I can find jumpers to reset BIOS.  They told me to call local repair, but they are also unwilling to help.  Tried removing CMOS battery, no go.  There must be somone out there who can help me with location of reset jumpers.  I'm beginning to think I wil no longer be recommedning Toshiba.  Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that number.  It’s an independent contractor for Toshiba and they also are unwilling to provide the simple information on how to reset the BIOS.  I don't understand how no one at Toshiba is willing to provide this information.  Anyone who purchases an electronic product is entitled to a schematic or diagram of the jumpers on the motherboard.  Independent contractors shouldn't be put in the position of supplying tech support for Toshiba, and so it's understandable that they won't and would rather charge $175 for something that anyone should be able to do themselves.   I hope this can be escalated to someone in Toshiba management.  There are many laptop choices.  Holding back simple information to allow one to fix their own Toshiba laptop is not good corporate strategy.

  • Portege P3440 asking for a BIOS password

    I have a Portege P3440 which I haven't used for about 8 months. When I turn it on now it comes up with screen asking for a password, and unfortunately I don't remember the password.
    It seems like a net bios password but I am not sure. It has Win NT installed. Please help as it is getting rather urgent.

    It is very bad situation Shaana. I hope you will be able to enter preinstalled OS trying different words as possible password. Other way you must visit service. They can remove the BIOS password but it will cost a little bit.

  • Portege R700 -- disabling Intel AMT in BIOS causes fan to run constantly

    I recently purchased a Portege R700-1321, which shipped with BIOS 1.40.  I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64.  I have attempted to disable Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) on this machine by going into the ME BIOS (via ctrl-P at bootup), setting an admin password, and then disabling ME completely.  However, when I reboot after disabling ME, the fan starts to run at high speed and runs continually so long as the machine is powered on.  Re-enabling ME in the BIOS and rebooting again causes the fan to behave normally.
    I believe this is a BIOS rather than Windows problem because upon booting the machine, the fan steps up from low to high speed over the course of about a second before the Windows startup screen appears.  Windows appears to be fine despite the continually running fan, so AFAIK this is not the freezing-up issue that has been reported for R700s, despite the similar involvement of the fan.
    Is anyone else seeing a similar issue?

    I noticed that when battery is charging the miniPCI temperature spikes to 50 degrees. Unplugging the AC or reaching the charging threshold causes sudden drop in the temperature. The interesting thing is that the minipci sensor is near the southbridge (near the ram) and the battery sensor itself stays stable at 30 degrees. 

  • Portege R700 PT311E -I'm looking for Bios v1.50

    Hi everybody :-)
    am looking bios v. 1.50 for toshiba r700 model PT311E sold e.g in Poland.
    On Toshiba download page is only new version 1.60 but I need previous version 1.50.
    Can someone help me and send me via e-mail ? [email protected]
    thanks a lot.

    Hi
    Unfortunately, Toshiba European driver page provides just the newest BISO versions.
    But I found also older BIOS versions on the Toshiba US driver page.
    [Portege R700-S1320|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2682554& rpn=PT311U&modelFilter=R700-S1320&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768662]
    But its for Portege R700-S1320 and the series PT310U / PT311U / PT314U
    So possibly its the same BIOS which is designed for Portege R700 PT311E (E means European U means USA)

    Thank you.

    Hi
    Unfortunately nobody here can help you with this. BIOS password is very important security feature and it cannot be solved on some public forums.
    This can be solved with authorized service only.
    Response code can be given by Toshiba only and they don't give it to anyone. Only authorized service provider can get it after check if notebook is not stolen.
    Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and they can help you wth this.
    Bye and good luck.

  • Portege Z830 - Changing/deleting Bios password

    When I started up my new Portege Z830, I was given the option during set up, of putting in a bios password.
    I did so, but am now regretting it, as I have to put in two passwords, the bios and windows, before can start doing anything. As I don't need the bios one, how do I get into the system to change or delete it, now that I don't have access to the set up screens?
    Thanks

    You can delete it in BIOS options directly or using Toshiba tool in Windows Supervisor password utility.
    I recommend you to perform complete shutdown and then after notebook restart enter BIOS settings and delete it there.

  • Portege R700 - Can't update the BIOS

    Hi,
    I recently bought a Portege R700 19M and I have downloaded the latest version of the BIOS available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it doesn't work with this message: "The computer is not supported"
    And, when I have a look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it doesn't display the BIOS version but some weird character (not usual letters) so I can't know which version is installed.
    thank you for your help

    I have a similar problem. I have an R700 18Q (Short Model No: PT311E) and my SO is Windows 7 Pro, 64 bits, and when i try to run "BIOS180_EC140.exe" I got a message: "This computer is not supported".
    So, since "BIOS180_EC140.exe" is just an archive file, I have extracted all its content into a folder and these are all the files inside there: autoExec.0409; autoExec.0411; autoExec.vbe; BIO007BT.COM; CHGBIOSF.EXE; EC73V140.BIN; nchgbios2.exe; nchgbios2.sys; NCHGBIOS2x64.SYS; TosPwChk.dll; TosPwChk.lng; TosWshHelper.exe; version.ini.
    So and now? What should I run? I have already tried nchgbios2.exe and TosWshHelper.exe, but nothing happens. Finally I have tried CHGBIOSF.exe, but I got the message: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running. Check your...."
    How can I upgrade the BIOS?

  • Portege M300 BIOS password removal

    Dear,
    We from UsedPC a company in Holland thats sell second handed Notebooks en Computers just bought 4 of Toshiba Portege M300
    We only have one problem on all of the machines, They are locked with an start up password ( bios password ) so we cant install them
    Only we need the responses codes that we dont know.
    Can somebody help us out please?
    Greets,
    UsedPC

    BIOS password ist most sensible security feature and you cannot expect help in public forum where everyone should find out how it works.
    Then every stolen Portege M300 can be unlocked.
    What I can say is that unlocking method is pretty complicated and just authorized service can help you with this. Even they don't have these codes. Just Toshiba can send them codes following specific procedure.
    So forget it. Go to service, show evidence that notebooks are not stolen and they will help you with this. Of course it will not be for free.
