How dissable/reset power-on password on ThinkPad W500 ?

How dissable/reset power-on password on ThinkPad W500 ?
SN: xxxxxxx 09/04
I try this procedure:
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.
but power-on password still here
Moderator Note; s/n edited for member's own protection

Exactly what doesn't work?
from a completely shut down state, not a re-start, press and hold the F1 key while starting the system. The system should then beep and show the lock symbol with the error codes which mean that the date and time aren't correct, (as a result of the CMOS battery being pulled).
At the lock prompt enter your supervisor password, not the old or new power-on password, set the time and date to the correct values and remove or change the supervisor password as described in the manual. If you do not know the supervisor password you will need to find it out from the previous owner if there was one; otherwise you will need a new mainboard.

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 The pictures on the site you linked to are unfortunately a little outdated.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.
Regards

Resetting Administrator and password on Power Mac G5 without start up disks

Is it possible to reset the user name and password without the start up disks and if so how can it be done?

Do you know the password for an existing user account? If so, just log in as that user, go to the Accounts system preference & click the "Change Password..." button to change it. You can also change the 'long' user name to whatever you want in the "User Name" box in that same preference.
However, if you want to change the 'short' name of any account (the one used for the account's home folder, the Reset Password utility on the Mac OS X Install disc won't help -- it just allows anyone that can boot the Mac with that disc to reset the admin password, but not change the user short name associated with it.
To do that follow the procedure in Mac OS X: How to change user short name or home directory name. Of course, to do that, you need to know the password for an admin account (to enable the root user), so if you don't know the password for any admin account, you would need to use the reset password utility from an installer disc.
AFAIK, any Mac OS X Install disc capable of booting the Mac in question can be used for this, & using one that you don't actually own should not violate the software license agreement, since you are not using that disc to install anything.

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 ?

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

Power on password - not working

Hi, so I have this x61s laptop for 6 months and decided it wasnt what I am looking for so i wanted to sell it. I tried to restore it to the factory setting and everything went fine. last thing i did was remove the BIOS password, I did. and it seems that there is a power on password I cant change it. It says I put in the wrong code. "but I only use 1 code for every password".... I have no idea what to do. Now when i restart it asks me for the power on password which I dont have, and nothing I can do about.. please help.. it cant even boot up.

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?
Thank you!

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.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=447371&docId=emr_na-c00622160&docLocale=...
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.

HP 15g000 (15gt) laptop administrator/power on password needed. Error code after 3 tries= 88816924

Hi: My friend bought a laptop and after a couple of months it immediately asks for the Administrator password or Power On password. They bought it from "fingerhut" who says they will do nothing. They have not even completed paying for it yet.I have removed all batteries, even the one supplying the CMOS. It then says it will reset the CMOS to default, but it then still is asking for the password. Is there a password or utility to fix this? thanks.

Hi: Please read this post which should resolve your dilemma. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/System-Hal... Then... You can: 1. Use the unlock code you generated to enter the BIOS
2. Disable all passwords that are enabled in the BIOS's security menu.
3. If asked for current password - type the unlock code
4. For new password, just press ENTER key
5. Repeat the same for verify password column.

Resetting the Admin password in single user mode

Ok, my friend bought an old Imac from someone she went to school with with OS 10.4.2 on it. It works fine except that she can not install any programs because there is an admin password that she does not know. She asked the person she bought it from, he says he doesn't even remember setting a password. Normaly with this issue id just pop in the install disk and reset it from there, except neither of them have the install disk, and my install disk is to current for the machine. Does anyone know how I can reset the admin acount using single user mode commands? I can do it on my Mac Book pro but it doesn't seem to work the same way on 10.4. Please help!
EDIT: It is a Power PC G3 if that helps.

Message was edited by: CartooNxHerO
You do not need to delete "the users home folders". Nor do you need to delete the netinfo database. Here are two proceedures:
Change Password
Mac OS X:
Changing or resetting an account password via GUI:
Resetting a user's password
Resetting the original administrator account password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156
You do not have a CD/DVD
Changing password from single user mode:
You can also change the administrator's password from single user mode or create a new administrator account.
You need to get into single use mode for steps one and two that are listed below.
This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
Basically, you hold down the command-s key then powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.
1) You can change the password on an account. ( Do you know Unix. You are in a Unix single user console. ) The setup commands you need should be listed on the screen. For Mac OS 10.4.11, the commands are:
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
# Start up some utility processes that are needed.
sh /etc/rc
# You will probably need to press the return key once the system stops typing.
# To find out the users on the system type, use the list command. The l is a lower case L:
ls /Users
# One of these accounts will be the administrator.
# Pick one of the users which I'll call a-user-name and type it in this command:
passwd a-user-name
# and enter the new user password. You need six characters.
# You will need to enter your password twice. Your typing will not show up on the screen just
# press enter when you complete the typing.
# For cryptic information on these commands try:
man ls
man passwd
The root account isn't enabled by default. I am not sure if changing the password on root will enable it.
2) Get the Mac to set up an additional administrative account. You can then change the password on your old account.
Start with your computer power off. Hold down command-s. Power on your computer.
Type in the following:
The first two commands will depend on your release of Mac OS X. Look at what is typed out in the console to determine the exact format.
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write. Press return after each command.
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /var/db
pwd
#List all files. The l is a lower case L.
ls -a
#The move command acts as a rename command in this format.
mv -i .applesetupdone .applesetupdone.old
reboot
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

Needing to reset my BIOS password

Hi, I need to reset the power on password associated with the BIOS. I have removed the back in 2 places but I need some kind of schematic that tells me where to locate the header and jumper labels. I know nothing about computers so this is me blind...I have entered the password wrong and gotten a code before...that code is 90407744. I am on a G71-340US HP computer with Windows 7 OS and Home Premium. I have instructions for resetting the password but do not know where to find the header and jumper. Thanks ybliku2
