Satellite L300 - How to remove the BIOS password?

Hi
I bought a Satellite L300 about 8 months ago. I just used it a month and i just reopen it. I surprised by the labtop asking me to enter BIOS password without changing BIOS setting.
I don't know what is the problem and how can I overcome it?
Please Help

  • Satellite M - How to remove the BIOS password?

    Hello.
    I forgot my BIOS password. I tried doing everything from introducing some default passwords like 'toshiba' 'phoenix' holding the left shift key while booting to disassembling my laptop and finding my BIOS battery to remove it.
    The problem is that my battery is glued on my motherboard and I don't know what to do. I heard that there should be some jumpers near the battery that could help me but I cannont find them.
    I am desperated ....what can I do?
    please help me
    thank you.

    Default password doesnt exist and there is no magic default password that can remove existing one. Removing BIOS battery will not help at all. On notebooks it will not work so forget it.
    BIOS password can be removed by ASP only so contact nearest ASP and they will help you.
    Theory with jumper is also not correct because BIOS removal procedure is not the same for every notebook model.
    Sorry but ASP is your only way to remove BIOS password.

  • How to remove the BIOS password on Satellite M40

    I'm looking for the the master Bios password or how can I reset the Bios password of Satellite M-40.
    I forget my Bios password and I can't used my laptop any more.
    Please I need the help

    I've got bad news for you... :( the BIOS password cannot be removed easily.
    As far as I know only the ASP (Toshiba authorized service provider) can remove the unknown BIOS password...
    Therefore I don't see any other solution as to contact the local ASP and to ask for the password removing.
    Bye & good luck

  • How to remove the BIOS password on Satellite Pro M10

    Hello Irwan
    As you can see there is no much to do and only service can help you. I am really wondering that people here believe that removing CMOS battery will help. It is not the desktop and some things on laptops work a little bit different.
    One more thing for you and all people who want to remove BIOS alone. BIOS password removing procedure is not the same for all notebook models. For some models it is so complicated and works similar like on mobile phone. To delete existing password you need to enter special generated code using special tools.
    Please contact nearest service provider in your country and they will help you. If the notebook is your private property and if you are owner it should not be the problem.

  • Satellite x200 - how to reset the Bios password

    Hello,
    I purchased a used Satellite x200 to replace my old p100.
    When I received it, I remarked the bios is locked and the person I got it from is unable to tell me the password, arguing she used the finger imprint only four long.
    Is there a way to reset the bios password and how much would it cost?
    Regards

    Hi
    The BIOS password can be removed only by an authorized service provider in country where you live.
    So get in contact with Toshiba service partner and ask for BIOS password reset.

  • Remove the BIOS password for laptop HP Compaq 6520s

    Hello everybody!
    Notebook is my HP Compaq 6520s. I set the BIOS password, but now I have forgotten it. How can I remove the password now?
    Thanks everyone!

    I do not know what decade the last replier is from but is most apparent that they can not read the written word... the first person said, that they had a laptop not a desktop...  Most laptops that are under eight years old do not have pins to reset the bios...    Everything that the replier stated might work on a desktop computer to reset the password.. but since laptops are to easy to steal the companies have made it more difficult to enter the bios and change things when they are password... There are three ways to remove the forgotten password    1 remember it    2 call Hp to get the backdoor password  3  replace the motherboard.. that is it... most of the bios clearing programs are made for dos and will not work with windows above windows 98... xp vista and 7 are NT and will not allow access to the bios..........

  • Satellite P - After Windows 7 the BIOS password is set

    After I installed Windows 7, I tried to enter the BIOS, but found the proposal to enter a password. I did not put a password on the BIOS and do not know the password. After buying a month ago the password was not exactly. It can somehow change or reset?
    Maybe this is not because of Windows 7?
    (translate with Google, sorry for English)

    Hi
    First of all what notebook you have exactly?
    Normally if you install another OS the BIOS password will not set and generally BIOS passwords will not be set automatically.
    I dont know how it happened but BIOS passwords can be removed from an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba you can search for one. Call them and explain the situation. Im sure that they will help you and remove the BIOS.

  • How to reset the BIOS Password ?

    Hi there, My uncle just gave me an HP Mini 110 for I can write my lessons on it more easily than on my 17" gaming laptop which is pretty heavy and not really carriable. So the first time I turned on the notebook, it asked me the BIOS Password. At this time my uncle does not remember he set a BIOS Password and we tried multiple passwords but none of them worked. I don't know if it can help but I have this Error Code when I type a wrong password three times in a row : CNU9393LKW I just noticed that this code error is the same as the notebook's serial number. I hope someone will be able to help me.  Have a good evening,

    Please try this Password = e9lofofksd Steps to be followed:1. Use the unlock code posted above to enter the BIOS2. Disable all passwords that are enabled3. If asked for current password - type the unlock code4. For new password, just press ENTER key5. Repeat the same for verify password column.6. Then leave the BIOS by saving & exit option to save the changes. Troubleshooting:Incase if the Password doesn’t work please try a Hard Reset as follows.1. Shut down the notebook2. Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery3. Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds4. Plug in the Power/AC Adapter (Leave the battery out for the moment) & Start the Notebook5. If you now see a password box, Please type the same password I shared before & press enter Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again  **Click the White Thumbs Up Button on the right to say Thanks**Make it easier for other people to find solutions by marking a Reply 'Accept as Solution' if it solves your problem. Thank You,K N R KAlthough I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP

  • Satellite A40: How to update the BIOS because I only have half of the Bios

    Hi guys

    I sent an email to the german toshiba technical support and they said try a bios update (which baring in mind i still dont know how to do)then we sent my laptop to a local computer shop and told them the problem they told me not to update bios on a cempron processor.
    Why not? What are the risks in need to know.
    please help me because i want to in the future possibly upgrade to vista??

    Hello Daniel,
    Im a little bit confused about your message.
    What do you mean with only have half of the bios?
    Whats wrong with the BIOS?
    The Toshiba support said -> try a BIOS update.
    On the Toshiba page you can download the BIOS for the Satellite A40.
    It seems you didnt check the download page detailed because on this page you would find this instruction:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS&FID=TRO0000000b07
    The BIOS update was detailed described in this document and you should follow these guide lines to update the BIOS.

  • How to remove the admin password in hp lj 600 m602

    when we go in preboot menue for updating the frimware we have to select the administrator but its asking for password.with out  going in admin how to  update the frimware ? 

    Looks like you replaced the hard disk.  There is no admin password so I would assume you are not doing the procedure correctly.  See the link below for doing firmware load using usb thumb drive which is the easiest way. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03176293#N10404

  • Satellite C660 - How to downgrade the BIOS?

    I have the same problem. Latest BIOS version for my notebook is 1.3 but on my is 1.4 installed?! Notebook is 10 days and I cant work with it.
    We have few C660 (PSC0LE) we bought tham on same day and they all have 1.3 and are working perfect. Only my is BIOS 1.4 version and its not good at all.
    Please my question is how can I flash BIOS with 1.3?

    Hey,
    I agree with the user above. BIOS downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider. So you should get in contact with the guys and ask if they can downgrade the BIOS for you or probably they can send you an older BIOS version via e-mail Just talk with the guys a little bit ;)
    But normally newest BIOS version has most bug fixes so I dont think a downgrade is useful

  • Satellite L300: How to make the screen less blue?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to make the screen less blue, not fully color managed, just a little warmer. TIA.

    Hey Zeb,
    Why you want to change the color management? Are not satisfied with the colors on your L300 screen? I have this notebook too and Im very satisfied with the color management. For me its all ok and I dont change anything on it.
    Anyway, you can change the colors in graphics driver menu. On Intel cards for example:
    Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Intel Graphics > Graphic Properties > Color Correction
