Satellite Pro C660-29W: BIOS won't let me enter the supervisor password

Computer is a satellite pro C660-29W PSC1ME-00U00KEN
I've set a BIOS supervisor password (no user password is set). I know the password.
If I hit F2 it enters the text editor but does not give any opportunity to enter the password, and so whilst I can view everything there is no way to change anything.
Any suggestions?

Can this be helpful?

  • Satellite P750 Keypad won't let me enter the 1 or 6 key

    Hi Folks,
    Hope someone can help me.
    My keypad has developed a problem and will not let me enter the 1 or 6 key.
    All the other ones are working fine. This error seemed random at first, but now seems to be like that all the time. I have done a system restore, but that did not help. I am running Windows 7.
    Any suggestions, help will be appreciated.
    Cheers
    Rob
    It is a PSAY3A-02J001 Satellite P750

    I guess your keyboard is faulty. This would explain the problem. Just for test purposes, connect an external USB keyboard and check how it acts.
    If everything would work properly, the keyboard controller is OK and it must be definitely an internal keyboard problem.
    In such case only keyboard replacement would help you.
    In case the warranty is valid, I would recommend contacting an Toshiba ASP sine this would be fixed free of charge.
    Good luck dude.

  • My ipad just won't let me enter my apple password on FaceTime or iMessage, it works fine on my iPhone, I have tried numerous things but nothing works, can anybody help please, will a bug fix sort this out when they finally make one

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Macbook won't let me enter my wifi password

    My macbook works fine with all wifi except my work wifi.
    I sit next to the box and the network is detected by my computer. When i click on the network's name to enter the password and connect to the wifi network, I get this "impossible to connect to connect to wifi network". It won't even let me put my password in.
    People with other laptops have no issues connecting.
    What can I do?

    What kind of security is used on the work network? If you don't know, you'll have to find out from the network administrator.

  • Connect As- won't let me enter Name and Password on Back to My Mac

    I'm trying to "get back to my mac". It's a Pro Mac and iCloud shows it as Online. Connecting from my MacBook Pro, over the internet. Both machines are fully updated Mavericks (10.9.4).
    When I "Connect as…" on the ProMac in the finder, the Connecting… sits for a long time and then I get the error message "There was a problem connecting to the server “x".  The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Same thing for screen sharing.
    What I expect to happen is to be able to click on Connect as… and to be able to enter name and password (I suspect it's logging into the wrong user), but it just tries to connect and generates the error again. I've tried a restart and can't really think of anything else to wake it up.
    Any suggestions?

  • My Toshiba Satellite Pro c660-1N9 not displaying

    I was using the laptop this morning and then had to restart it after uninstalling my antivirus software. Upon restart, the screen went black. Not even the backlight comes on but the laptop displays as i can hear the sound windows makes while booting. I put it off and then left it for a while (long enough for it to cool down)and switched it on again. It started normally but upon restart again, it didn't show anything for a while then the screen became very bright and the things displayed were kinda blurred. When i restarted it again, it went back to the black screen. I just bought it about a week ago. Any suggestions as to what i can do to it?

    SATELLITE PRO C660-1N9 Specifications
    ...I just bought it about a week ago. Any suggestions as to what i can do to it?
    Three suggestions.
    First, try a proper system reset and see if this helps bring the system back. Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, when you hopefully see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, boot into Windows.
    If that doesn't work, try the rest of the steps outlined in this article:
    Computer will not turn on
    If nothing works there time to return it to where you bought it from.
    Let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Can't install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HDD

    Hello,
    My HDD has died, so i decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660-1D9 to an SSD.
    I made a bootable USB with Win8, and booted just fine.
    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD so i can proceed with the install.
    SSD shows up in BIOS, but not in Windows install.
    It says there's a driver missing.
    I downloaded AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even then, after selecting the only driver that appears, it says no new devices found.
    I tried changing SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility mode and it's the same..
    What can i do?
    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards,
    Bruno Moreira

    Older Windows XP required an AHCI driver from Intel but I think this isnt a missing SATA driver issue because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers in order to recognize the HDD or SSD drive.
    Furthermore the OS installation should be possible even if the driver would not be added... for this procedure you have to use the "compatibility mode".
    As you said, the compatibility mode did not work too, so I think there is another problem.
    However, Toshiba driver page provides also an Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) driver (Windows 8 - Upgrade) which you could try to add while OS installation.
    But Im wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Did you try to format the SSD drive using another computer and then to install Win 8?
    Try it out.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 won't let me install the chipset drivers

    Hi,
    After i upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit from windows 8 64 bit (pre-installed), i figured that windows won't let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit), but they remain with the windows drivers installed for them.
    The device manager shows everything installed and properly using. Also, when the set up was running to install the chipset driver, it skipped most of them, to install only a missing driver (sadly haven't kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the device manager (either auto search or manually browsing in the pc the downloaded files from site), but it keeps saying that drivers are up to date (having drivers with version of 2006, when the latest on site are 2014). Any suggestion of what to do?
    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    OS version: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4GHz
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M

    Problem solved, after even a deeper google search, i found that if y make a shortcut and add to it a command (-OVERALL), it forcefully installs all components.

  • Satellite Pro C660 doesn't start-up

    Hi,
    Have a satellite Pro C660, which has decided that it no longer wants to start up.
    When the power on button is pressed the green power light comes on and the fan starts to whirr, however the laptop does not seem to go through the POST routine, and just turns itself off.
    I have checked the RAM Modules, and the HDD for poor connections in the hope that the problem is a simple one, but to no avail.
    I have managed to start the laptop previously by holding CTRL+ALT+DEL, when it sprang into life. But this trick now no longer works. I have also tried holding the F12 and/or the F2 keys on start up but the laptop still refuses to start.
    I should mention that this laptop is not very old, less than six months, however if there is a simple fix as an alternative to returning it, I would rather try that first!
    Hope someone has a solution?

    For such issues there is no some kind of magic solution.
    Your problem description is OK but we dont know what have you dont in the past.
    Such problems doesnt happen for no reason and maybe some action that you have done can be responsible for that.
    It sounds like defective BIOS so can you please tell us since when have you this problem and have you maybe tried to update BIOS in the past?

  • Satellite Pro C660 - Keyboard Problems

    This question relates to a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1UX Laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.
    Some of the onboard keys (E, T, U, I, O, A, B, N, together with the Enter key) fail to register.
    All of the other keys tested so far appear to register normally.
    When connecting an external USB keyboard, all keys function properly. However, when using either the onboard keyboard or the external USB keyboard, it is necessary to hold down whatever key is selected for approx 2-3 seconds in order for its character to register. This makes typing incredibly slow and is understandably unacceptable.
    I've checked device manager looking for errors, but am unable to find any. The driver for the keyboard is listed as installed and working properly, and driver update says that the latest version is in already in use.
    I have also scanned for viruses using Malware Bytes and Spybot, and also with the laptops own pre-installed antivirus software. All of the full system scans return a no threat found message.
    I have read that the keyboards on these machines can sometime be problematic, which could answer why only certain onboard keys function. The fact that all keys on the external USB keyboard work would seem to confirm this. However, the fact that both onboard and external keyboard is affected by the same slow keypress might also suggest a bios problem - but as this laptop is several years old and has been working perfectly, why would bios suddenly cause this problem.
    I have visited the Toshiba website and based on this laptop having Part number: PSC0ME-02100SEN I have determined (rightly or wrongly) that the correct bios download version is 1.70-WIN, only when I read the following bios installation instructions http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm
    I became pretty concerned, as the installation of the bios update appears far from simple.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to download and install the correct bios by means of an automated update as opposed to the manual download and step by step installation, which, if not carried out as intended, could render the laptop totally unusable.
    Has anyone reading this post experienced similar issues with this make and model of laptop and managed to successfully return it to proper working order. If so, how?
    Any constructive advice would be gratefully received.

    > When connecting an external USB keyboard, all keys function properly.
    This means that keyboard controller is OK and the internal keyboard is faulty.
    To fix this keyboard issue, the internal keyboard should be replaced.
    >However, the fact that both onboard and external keyboard is affected by the same slow keypress might also suggest a bios problem - but as this laptop is several years old and has been working perfectly, why would bios suddenly cause this problem.
    Hmm I dont think so
    The keyboard delay may be related to the settings.
    You can check this in control panel -> keyboard

  • Changing Win7 64bit to 32 bit on Satellite Pro C660-16N

    Hello.
    >...Satellite Pro C660-16N - Windows 7 64bit Home Premium preinstalled...
    Does anyone know what the best route is to change Win7 64bit to Win7 32bit. Does this model have a 32bit install option on HDD recovery?
    Or will it have to be a clean install from a Win7 32bit DVD.
    Many thanks.

    I presume this notebook is offered with 64bit version only (specification) and there is only one way to install 32 bit OS version you must install it using original Microsoft Win7 32 bit installation disc.
    Please note: for OS activation you cannot use product key from the sticker. You must buy new licence for your own installation.
    By the way: check also if this notebook model is supported for 32 bit version. You can do this on Toshiba support and download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    If you have more questions you are welcome.

  • Satellite Pro C660-16F: Which AC adapter is compatible

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently lost the charger of my Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16F.
    It supplies output DC 19V --- 3,42 A
    Also my father has a Toshiba Satellite, model A300 1RF
    Its chargers supplies DC 19V --- 4,74 A
    I don't know if I can use my fathers' charger for my computer, as I don't know
    if it just takes the current it needs or excessive current can cause it damage.
    Can someone give me the answer to this?, thank you a lot in advance!

    Hi
    You can use the other 19V AC adaptor.
    The Volt value is very important. You can use ONLY AC adaptor which supports the 19V
    The Ampere is important too but it can be a little bit different.
    Your original AC adaptor supports 3.42Ampere and other supports 4.74. This is a little bit higher but not really relevant.
