Good evening all!
I am a computer science student and I badly need your help.
I have a Thinkpad series x61Lenovo, TYPE 7674-CTO S / N xxxxxxx 01.08 PRODUCT ID: 7674Y5S.
And I have a problem with the BIOS as a result unprobleme with operating system Windows XP SP3, the notebook demaidait me to insert a CD ROM drive in the xp cd and perform a repair. But the notebook does not boot on CD-ROM and wanted to enter the BIOS SETUP and not because he asks me a password. I do not know if you like it help me: I was trying to remove the password by removing the BIOS battery as in nothing but his Destop fontion not .... help me ... I need my notebookurgenment exams soon.
Thank you for your answers and solutions.

     As you've posted this issue several times, if the replies you're getting are not working, you need to explain what is not working on the same thread, rather than creating additional ones. From the halt code you've posted: Enter:     e9lo7gq79g  If the above code isn't working, check the following. 1.  The halt code ( generated after 3 incorrect entries ) that you've posted is correct. 2.  You entering the code on a QWERTY keyboard. 3.  Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out for the moment ), start the notebook and try entering the code again. 4.  Try entering the code via an external usb QWERTY keyboard. Regards, DP-K

    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.

  • BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition Version: 2.20

    BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition
    A new BIOS update is available on Lenovo site for X61. Is it worth updating and will it solve overheating problem. Please let me know those who tested it.
     http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67982
    Regards.

    I forgot to follow up my own follow up.  The heat problem returned and I was going to send it back again, but realized tech would probably just repack and send it back to me untouched.  I was able to reduce the heat by eliminating much of the bloatware, including several of Lenovo's own utilities.  I monitor it now and find that when running a spyware scan, for example, the heat builds up again.
    I believe the problem is all about hardware constrictions, that is, faster components in an ever-shrinking case.  I blame developers for not implementing better cooling techniques, and am especially critical of the premium sellers like Lenovo for charging as much as they do for mediocre performance.

  • Fingerprin​t Reader access to KeePass (from a Thinkpad with Password Manager)

    The goal: secure, convenient, automated login to password-protected sites
    KeyPass is a great open-source program for secure creation, storage and use of login passwords and other information. With a plugin called KeeForm, it allows very convenient automatic login to password-protected sites by clicking on a KeePass entry. To preclude unintended access to all of your secure information, it is wise to close Keepass after each use, or set Keepass to lock when minimized. But this is less convenient, because a long secure master password then has to be entered before each use of Keepass.
    Using a fingerprint reader to enter Keepass can be a big time saver while retaining security. Capacitive swipe fingerprint readers can be very secure, provided they operate through equally secure software. They are available as USB units, or integrated into some keyboards and notebook computers, for example some Lenovo ThinkPads.
    Unfortunately, set-up can be a challenge and there may be disadvantages even after the best workable interface between KeePass and a particular biometric system. This example uses the integrated fingerprint reader and software on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61.
    The problem: getting secure fingerprint software to use KeePass
    ThinkPads can use Lenovo fingerprint software alone for start-up into Windows, but they need additional layers of software (Client Security Solution - CSS, and Password Manager  - PM) to work with other programs including KeePass. PM uses CSS security functions.
    Cautions about Lenovo CSS:
    1. Some organisations advise against CSS because of problems including clashes with antivirus programs. See http://www.ncsu.edu/antivirus/lenovo/ and
    http://prowiki.isc.upenn.edu/wiki/ThinkVantage_Sof​tware_Under_Windows_Vista
    These bugs may have been fixed over time - but install at your own risk!
    2. CSS and PM introduce their own system overheads which may slow some operations.
    3. Once tried, CSS may not simply be inactivated while restoring basic fingerprint start-up into Windows. The X61 at least insists that CSS be reactivated for any fingerprint function. If you try a Windows system restore to a time before CSS was first activated, you may experience the ‘blue screen of death'. The security chip evidently regards your desire for a past configuration as a security breach. With luck you may ‘live again' if you can log into Windows in Safe Mode to undo the attempted system restore. After that, I reactivated CSS. I was not game to try uninstall after inactivation of CSS - but see the ncsu link above.
    Having decided to accept the ‘risks' of activating CSS and PM, you may want to try PM for all password management. For me it would not recognise some internet logins, could not complete auto-submission in others, and did not allow the manual adjustments that make KeePass so versatile. Unfortunately PM help is very limited. There is no current user manual (old manuals up to v1.4 available on the web do not match the properties of the current v3 of the software). KeePass (or the KeeForm plugin) also struggles with some sites, but it works much better overall. Help on KeeForm plugin syntax is limited, but otherwise KeePass help is great.
    So we really want the fingerprint reader (via PM) to work for KeePass master password entry.
    This is not so simple for five interacting reasons:
    (i)  It is tricky to register KeePass in PM;
    (ii) PM then gets confused by ‘hidden' entry of a master password during fingerprint login to KeePass, and repeatedly tries to save ****** as a changed master password;
    (iii) PM also tries to automatically register each entry opened for editing within KeePass;
    (iv) PM tries to automatically register other logins even if they are managed through KeePass.
    (v) Your KeePass records are now only as secure as your PM login (which is likely to be your Windows login).
    The solutions: or workarounds at least
    The best workarounds I could develop for these five issues were:
    (i) To register KeePass in PM, first ensure that PM is running (icon in the system tray). Then launch KeePass, click the login window box for unobscured password display (three blue dots turn black), enter the master password and click OK to start KeePass as usual.
    If PM does not offer to save an entry for KeePass by this stage, try ‘plan B'. Open a window to edit an entry in KeePass, then click Cancel. PM seems to recognise this more readily as a login window and may offer to create an entry. Accept the offer, and name the entry KeePass. Then open PM to edit the saved entry. You will have to edit several fields to achieve an effective PM entry for KeePass:
    The title field must be "Open database - database.kdb", to match the title of the KeePass login window.
    The file name field should show the full path to KeePass.exe (something like C:\Program Files\KeePass\PeePass.exe depending on your installation).
    The login and password data field is accessed by double clicking the entry. It will need to show only your KeePass master password (in the unobscured text view). In login and password data, delete each line of unwanted text until you get to the final password line (shown as *****), and edit this line to provide your master password.
    In the Advanced tab, select auto-fill and auto-submit and the desired security level [see (v) below]. Then select OK to get to the PM front window, and File - Save Changes, then Exit.
    Now when you close and re-launch KeePass, PM should automatically intervene (requesting a fingerprint to complete the KeePass login if you selected that security level. Select ‘No' when PM asks to change the password [see (ii) below].
    If you had no luck, try ‘plan C'. Close KeePass completely, then launch it again to open the login window. Then right-click the PM icon in the system tray, open the ‘Type and Transfer Tool', click the box for unobscured password display, type in the KeePass master password, drag the cross-hairs to the password field in the waiting KeePass login window, and release the password there. Click OK to start KeePass as usual, then click OK to close the PM transfer window. If there is still no KeePass entry in PM, check that KeePass has not been included in the PM excluded programs list. If this sequence does not work, reboot and check again. Failing all else, any entry that PM succeeds in making from any login page can be edited to an effective KeePass entry by editing fields as described above for ‘plan B'.
    PM (v3.00) can be coy to associate initially, but it will accept KeePass (v1.14) as a password-managed program, and thereafter it reliably succeeds to auto-submit the KeePass login after some help described in (ii) below.
    (ii) Having sent the correct master password to the KeePass login window, PM becomes confused by the ‘hidden' text now in the password field, and offers to change its record of your KeyPass master password to ******. You can manually select ‘No' in the PM changed-password dialogue box that appears every time you use PM / fingerprint for KeePass login. But Beware: if you ever accidentally select ‘Yes' (the default) your KeePass master password record in PM will be changed to ******. This can be edited to provide the correct password again, but it is more than a minor pain in the AR5E. Unless you know (or have a backup of) your KeePass master password you just lost access to your KeePass database!
    To avoid this big nuisance and risk, you can set up to restart KeePass for each use from a desktop shortcut (instead of minimising it to the system tray) and have the shortcut run a batch file with vbs scripts that send the ‘No' message to PM automatically.
    Here is an example batch file, with corresponding vbs scripts. You can make all these files using Notepad and save the files with the names indicated, into the KeePass program directory (C:\Program Files\KeePass in this example).
    KeePass.bat (This launches KeePass and tells PM v3 not to change the password. Caution: If Lenovo changed PM program design in future, the effect could change; the batch file might send {TAB}{ENTER} keystrokes to another open window on your computer):
    C:
    cd\
    cd "C:\Program Files\KeePass"
    start " " "C:\Program Files\KeePass\KeePass.exe" "C:\Program Files\KeePass\Database.kdb"
    start /w Sleep.vbs 1
    start /w AppActivate.vbs
    start /w SendKeys.vbs
    Sleep.vbs (provides a short delay to open the ThinkVantage dialogue window, otherwise the following scripts fail because they are sent too soon):
    Wscript.Sleep Wscript.Arguments(0) * 1000
    AppActivate.vbs (puts focus on the ThinkVantage  Password change dialogue window so that Tab and Enter commands are not sent elsewhere with undesired effects):
    CreateObject("WScript.Shell").AppActivate "ThinkVantage Password Manager"
    SendKeys.vbs (sends a ‘No' response to the PM request to change its KeePass entry):
    CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys "{TAB}{ENTER}"
    Please substitute ) where you see smileywink: in the vbs scripts above - I can't get this forum window to stop automatically translating the " ) sequence of text (without a space) as an emoticon.
    This batch file approach should work with additional startup switches for KeePass, for example the /backup.path: switch used by ‘another backup' plugin (or you can use the db_backup plugin that works from the KeePass.ini file). Quotes are needed around any entry with spaces. But some things that ‘should work' such as just writing "KeePass.exe" instead of the full path in line 4 of the batch file do not give the same outcome for me. This may be an effect on timing of the switch of focus between windows - so if you strike a problem it may be worth experimenting with the delay time set through the sleep script.
    If you set KeePass to lock when minimised, you will have to deal manually with the PM changed-password dialogue every time you re-access KeePass. So it is simpler to close rather than minimise KeePass after each use and restart it when needed, via the batch file.
    (iii) You have to tell PM ‘No' whenever it offers to save an entry that is edited in KeePass. This is less of a nuisance, because entries rarely need to be edited once set up in Keepass.  There is no way to turn off this requirement. If you select ‘Never' it will prevent use of PM and therefore fingerprint entry to start KeePass (not just the edit window).
    (iv) Turn off internet login within PM. This will leave all internet logins to KeePass. Unfortunately you can not set PM to only allow a single program login (KeePass), but you can set it to exclude specific programs, so do that for other programs that you access via KeePass.
    (v) Finally, set PM security within CSS so that a fingerprint (or a password if the fingerprint reader fails) is needed every time PM is launched (not just once per boot). Similarly, set KeePass security this way within PM. Otherwise (if you set the requirement to once per boot) your passwords are open to inspection while you are away from your booted computer.
    Caution: How secure is your Windows login password? Most likely this is also your PM login password, so it now allows access to your KeePass database! Make sure that it is a unique, secure and preferably memorable password.
    How close are we now to the desired combination of security and convenience?
    Click on the KeePass shortcut to the batch file given above, swipe the fingerprint, wait while CSS works, then click on the relevant Keepass entry to access any password-protected site or application in your Keypass list - great convenience.
    Security is very strong - both KeePass and PM are extremely secure unless you use a weak or insecure master password or select less secure settings.
    Starting (or opening a locked instance of) KeePass without the batch file given above requires a couple of extra carefully-placed clicks in the process to tell PM not to mess up its entry for KeePass, then to complete KeePass startup. This is less convenient, and a mistake could prevent future database access - so the batch file method is recommended.
    A final caution (while enjoying secure & convenient logins):
    Beware - fingerprint access is so convenient that you may forget your master passwords! Eventually they will be needed! You may click the wrong button in PM, suffer a faulty fingerprint reader or change computers! Then you must recall your master passwords before you can access your password file (and possibly your computer). This could be devastating: loss of all secure password information in KeePass and PM (and possibly loss of all information on a protected computer drive, not to mention need to pay for a computer motherboard and HDD replacement). So:
    1. Choose very secure but ‘unforgettable' master passwords for KeePass and computer (PM) access.
    2. Always set up a secure master password as an alternative to biometric authentication (in case of a faulty fingerprint reader).
    3. Keep your password database backups, and your separate master password backups, in another secure (preferably encrypted) but accessible location!
    Program versions tested:
    KeePass v1.14 (v2 betas not tested) with KeeForm v2 and DB_Backup v1.14
    Lenovo CSS v8.20 with PM v3.00
    The solutions were tested in November 2008 on a Thinkpad X61 running Windows Vista Business. The tricks to interface with KeePass can vary between fingerprint programs (search the KeePass forum).

    I'm reviving quite an old topic here, but I have been unable to find any other good information on this.  I currently use the latest version of Keepass v2.23 and have Lenovo Passoword Manager v4.3 installed on my new W530 laptop.  I can't get PM to recognize any passowords at all, in web browsers or in windows application.  
    In PM the only thing I can do is create folders and secure notes.  My fingerprint software works great for automated logins to windows.  Does anyone have any experience with using the fingerprint reader with a windows application like Keepass?  
    How can I get the Password manager to do ... anything?  Recognize a password in windows or a web browser?
    I'm open to any other software to be used or I can write scripts if necessary to accomplish this.  It doesn't seem like this should be so difficult, but from what I've learned about Lenovo so far, is that nothing is easy.  After trying to get battery charge thresholds working proplery in Windows 8, I've already lost faith in a company that I thought had a great reputation.  

  • Thinkpad X61 screen not working after driver install?

    Recently I decided to change my operating system on my Thinkpad X61 so I completly refreshed the system and installed Windows 7 . I finished the install and it seemed to boot properly . As I began to install my drivers via the Lenovo website it asked for a RESART. After restarting the PC it wouldnt show a screen . I've tried to connect to another output and that didnt work.
    As for the motherboard theory I honestly dont think that is the problem because I've seen several people on several forums discuss the same problem and they've found a solution but I cant seem to get anyone to discuss what that solution was.
    I am a student so I am in need of my computer so if someone could please help me as soon as possible.
    Moderator note; moved to correct board

    Are you really talking about X61? If so, this is the wrong forum, but regardless, here is what to do. Pull the battery out. Unplug the machine, and press the power button several times, holding it for 5 seconds the last time. Put the battery back and plug it in. Turn it on and try to boot into the BIOS. If the screen stays black, either the screen or the motherboard has died. If you can plug it into an external monitor and try again, you can tell which one it is.

  • Windows 8 making thinkpad X61s C2Duo L7500 (default 1.6GHz) runs at 1.8GHz

    Hi!
    My laptop is a thinkpad X61s C2Duo L7500, wich current CPU frequency is 1.6GHz.
    I installed Windows 8 and noticed something strange:
    The CPU is running at the maximum of 1.8GHz.
    Screens:
    Running on balanced performance energy plan:
    Image 1
    Running on high performance energy plan:
    Image 2
    Energy plans are the defaults of Win8, not customized.
    BIOS is at default values.
    The CPU frequency goes up 1.8GHz both on balanced performance and high performance energy plans. as obvious, on high performance it happens regularly, while on balanced performance it goes up to 1.8GHz just sometimes.
    Although that problem, my X61s is running windows Windows 8 well. It just had 3 BSODs, but I'm pretty sure should be caused by the higher CPU frequency.
    Have anyone noticed the same problem?
    There is any fix or workaround to solve it?
    I'm afraid that my CPU could be damaged if I use it for a very long time.
    Thanks!

    Thanks CharlyAR!
    So, i finally found out I was completely wrong :-(
    Here are Intel L7500 Specs:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SLA3R.html
    It says it runs at 1.8GHz on IDA mode.
    There is a feature called IDA:
    Intel Dynamic Acceleration technology (IDA) is a feature that boosts CPU performance when the CPU is running single-threaded applications. This is achieved by temporary increasing frequency of one CPU core when another CPU core is idle, i.e. when the second CPU core is in Deep Sleep or lower power state. How much the frequency is increased depends on front-side bus speed of the CPU:
    533 MHz FSB - by 133 MHz
    800 MHz FSB - by 200 MHz
    1066 MHz FSB - by 133 or 266 MHz
    This feature was introduced in Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile microprocessor family and is applicable only to dual-core CPUs. Quad-core processors incorporate Dual Dynamic Acceleration feature, which works similar to IDA. Newer Intel microprocessors based on Nehalem core utilize improved version of IDA called Turbo Boost Technology.

    So, I reverted all my energy plans to the default states and now I'm running it without being afraid ;-)

  • Password BIOS deleting on my S4100XCDT

    I m just buying an old Toshiba Satellite 4100 XCDT to use a IR webcam, the problem is there is a password bios and I cant delete it, I tried to use the loop back system but without success.
    How can I do?

    This is what you need:
    1. Your notebook
    2. An empty formatted diskette (720 kb or 1,44 mb)
    3. A second computer (e.g. a DOS desktop PC)
    4. A hex-editor (e.g. Norton DiskEdit or HexWorks)
    This is what you have to do:
    1. Start the desktop PC and start the hex-editor
    2. Put the disk in drive A:
    3. Change the first five bytes of sector 2 (boot sector is sector 1) to: 4B 45 59 00 00
    4. Save it! Now you have a KEYDISK
    5. Remove the disk from drive A:
    6. Put the disk in the notebook drive
    7. Start the notebook in Boot Mode (push the reset button)
    8. Press Enter when asked for Password:
    9. You will be asked to Set Password again. Press Y and Enter.
    10. You now see the BIOS configuration where you can set a new password.
    And that's all!

  • PC3-10600 memory modules in ThinkPad x61?

    Hey everyone,
    I own two thinkpads: X61 and T60. A friend of mine upgraded his thinkpad to 8 GB RAM, from 4, and offered to give me the Elpida memory modules. It's 4GB. I now have 4 GB in the X61, and 2 GB in the T60. I was thinking of installing the memory my friend gave me on the X61, and putting the current X61 modules in the T60, but the modules he gave me are pc3-10600. Will this run ok in the x61? I realize that is not going to run at the rated speed, but will it run ok, without any problems?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I am pretty sure that both the T60 and X61 use DDR2 memory. What your friend gave you is DDR3 memory, which is not compatible, as they are not electrically or physically compatible.
    Compare your ram with the one your friend gave you, you will see the "notch" is in a different place, preventing accidental mixup.

    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

    Hi, lisafromspanish fork.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I am not sure which operating system you are using; however, here are the steps that will walk you through changing an admin account password.

    You are going to need to go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve your iCloud/Apple ID. Once you know your ID, you can log onto Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to answer the Security Questions you will need to answer. If you don't remember the answers, you will have to contact Apple Support to have them reset: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
