A power on password is called a Bios password. You can go into the Bios and set it. Depending on the computer, there maybe just a user password or a supervisor password too. The password is there to prevent unauthorized people from accessing your computer or seeing your files. You can get the Bios password removed by going to a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider and having one of their Toshiba-trained techs remove the password. Two things to keep in mind. One, removing a Bios password is not covered under warranty, so expect to be charged. Two, have some sort of proof that the computer belongs to you. If you bring a computer and "can't remember" the password, how does the tech know that it wasn't stolen?

  • W510 Power-On Password Removal: Additional Queries

    Dear Lenovo Community:
    I am in the process of reconditioning my Lenovo W510 unit and I am trying to remove all the passwords that are in the system right now.
    However, after I removed the supervisor password, the BIOS does not recognize the power-on password that I enter when I attempt to remove it. After 3 unsuccessful tries it locks out, and I reboot - only to find out that the power-on password is still in place.
    My supervisor password is the same as the power-on password, so I cannot understand why it did not recognize the password when I tried to enter it.
    I am tempted to perform the solution that the Lenovo W510 Manual provides to remove the power-on password, but I am concerned because I have yet to remove the User HDD password. While I understand that this password is embedded in the disk's firmware and not the motherboard, will "resetting" the BIOS interfere with the HDD password as well? I am concerned that although I do know the user HDD password, I do not want to be faced with the situation where after resetting the BIOS and removing the power-on password the option to remove the HDD password becomes gray out and the HDD will be gone forever. Will this occur?
    Also, is the power-on password becoming "rogue" after the removal of the supervisor password a known issue? Is there anything being done to resolve this?
    Thank you,

    The hard disk password will not be affected by removing the power-on password. Passwords do not become rogue. As far as your symptoms, they can be explained perfectly if your power-on password was not really the same as your supervisor password. If you simply power on a machine with both a supervisor and power-on password, it will prompt for the power-on pw, but if you enter the supervisor pw, it will start ok.

  • Removing power on password

    yesterday while having a survey on my bios i mistakely set the power on password and administrative password . i am now knowing the password but want to remove it as it is very annoying to give the password every time i open my laptop. please can someone help me to remove the password please tell the procedure.

    Usyk try. 51494825  Use that code to go into the BIOS. Disable all passwords that are enabled. If asked for the CURRENT password use that code. If asked for NEW password just hit enter. If asked to VERIFY password just hit enter. Save and exit. REO  I must inform you that these services are not endorsed by HP, and that HP is not responsible for any damage that may arise to your system by using these services. Please be aware that you do this at your own risk.

  • How do I remove a power on password for a Pavilion HDX9494nr laptop?

    I have been trying to replace a damaged DVD drive for my son, so I could reload a non-booting OS, and the system reported drive errors from the new drive.  I went into to check the settings, but when I exited CMOS the system asked for a power-on password.  I did not set one so I have no clue what the password might be. 
    I know I need to remove the battery, remove a jumper, or perhaps push a reset button to eliminate the password, but I have no idea how which or how to identify and access these.  Any ideas?

  • 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

  • Fingerprin​t 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 ?

    - 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

  • T61 Power On Password ... can`t reset it

    I used to have 2 passwords, one on the hard drive and one for the Power On. But I was never asked about them, every time using the fingerprint. Yesteday I have just re-installed the Windows. I shutted down the laptop and when I need it opened I found that I need to put my passwords. I couldn`t remember the Power On Password.
    I searched on the net and found this link
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-59377
    Turn off the computer.
    Remove the battery pack.
    Remove the backup battery.
    Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The POP has been removed.
    Reinstall the backup battery and the battery pack.
    I did exactly what they say for reseting the Power On Password. Or maybe I might missunderstand the POST meaning. I thought this means the Icon where I am asked about the Power On Password. Am I right? If not, what does "POST ends" means? Because I am sure that this message for the password won`t dissapear. 
    Please let me know what should I do in this case.

    I'm really sorry,   but we are dealing with the supervisor password, the most secure password on a ThinkPad. The pictures on the site you linked to are unfortunately a little outdated.
    You will need to remember this password and delete it in BIOS. The forum rules forbid discussion on this subject. Discussion of the POP, (Power On Password), is permitted as this is openly published for all to see. e.g. the site you linked to.
    You may be able to get some assistance from support if you call them.
    Unfortunately, in accordance with the rules, I am locking this thread.
    I wish you luck and hope you can resolve this.

  • Power on password error

    I have an HP Compaq nc6200 laptop in which I have set up a power on password for. The problem is, when I try to enter my password, it does not work. I can enter my password up to 3 times then I get a little picture that looks like a circle with 3 lines sticking out the top and bottom. Is there a way I could solve this?

    Refer to the link mentioned below which is he manual for this particular model and check under the heading
    "1.2 Resetting the Computer" and follow the steps to clear the password.

    Remove the main battery and the RTC battery. and then power the notebook up with AC power. That is supposed to clear the password.

  • Power-on password problem

    i have a hp mini 2140 and I took the cmos battery out, disconnected power and battery, let it sit for 2 hours, pressed power on switch maybe to discharge any power left in the system. Plugged ac power in (cmos bat not connected) powered up and I still get the power on password with pic for a key, you make three entries and then you get the big asterick symbol, no code, and then you cannot do anything else until you power it off and then when you power back on and your back to the power on password request. I then replaced the TPM module with another one from a system with no power on password requirment. No luck.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately,  business machines 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 - the only other method that will work on these machines is to replace the bios chip - an example of what you require can be see on the following link.

    Hello,
    For you to be able to remove the Power On password, you need to remove the rear cover, then remove the metal cover that protects the motherboard and remove the jumper located close to the memory modules.
    Then try to power on the system and see if that resolved your problem.

  • 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.

    Before leaving work today I tried to find your model.
    Just did not have the time to find one.
    On Monday I know I can find one we process that model all the time.
    The reason I was looking for one is that some of the BIOS chips are in a cradle.
    Meaning you can pop it out with a small screwdriver and replace it with a new one.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIOS-CHIP-HP-Compaq-NX6125-/260947800881?pt=US_Motherboard_Components&hash=i...
    Then there are the ones that are soldered to the motherboard.
    Takes some skill to unsolder and resolder the chip.
    Let you know what I find on Monday.
