Supervisor password reset on protege r705 p40

Hi,
I wanted to enter to the bios in order to change the boot priority but the laptop jus rebooted.
I tried to enter the boot priority via the HWsetup but it is asking for a supervisor password...
I don't even recall ever putting a supervisor password!!
i tried flashinf the bios and downgrading it with no result.
I entered a new HD that has all the toshiba util's on it (fresh) and it is still asking for a password!
Did anyone encunter such a problem and or can give me any idea as to how to fix this??

Bios password reset

I have been using my laptop Compaq Presario V3000 with service tag v3070TU from last eight years. This laptop is also being used by my kids for playing games. As we know that there are two types of BIOS password i.e. "Supervisor" and "User". I had kept both passwords separate. For myself, I kept Supervisor password. Kids also kept their own User password. I was in view that I can change ”User" password whenever I wish as I was using Supervisor password. The time went by. The kids changed "User" password as they wished. Later I purchased Desktop for them. Again the time passed and for opening the laptop I always used my own ”Supervisor" password. No issues. The kids forgot their own password. But I was assured that I will change it whenever required. So few days back I thought to change the password kept by kids. To my surprise, I was unable to change the password. I search many forums and tried to reset the password as per procedure laid by HP. but all efforts failed. Then I thought may be upgrading BIOS will reset the password to default. So
I upgraded the Bios to the latest one F.25 (phoenix BIOS) to my surprise, my laptop still wanted the password to boot. Though I could do all the office work on my laptop but still I always felt handicap due to password issue.
Yesterday I thought why not to clear my “Supervisor” password so that it may not ask any password during boot. So I entered BIOS and navigated to supervisor password, pressed enter twice, and got alert that password is removed. Saved, rebooted and It again asked for password. Now my Supervisor password is also not working, even pressing “Enter” during boot is not working. Now I cannot enter in setup also.
Please help.

G550 Supervisor Password Issue

I have an issue with G550........manual states a new board is required if you forget the supervisor password. My issue is not forgetting password, but changing it back to "nothing."
My teenage daughter attempted to bypass my windows admin password by changing supervisor password to Thane13. When she could still not access my system, she gave up. I went to reset the supervisor password to nothing. When prompted for password I typed in the Thane13. When asked for "New Password," I just entered through, setting it back to nothing, I thought. Now, I am locked out of machine!! I've tried everything I can think of, short of a hammer. Any assistance here?

Removing Supervisor Password via WMI?

Hello guys, I'm trying to remove our supervisor password from our computers using the WMI-interface (described here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-68488). It works fine when trying to change the password using the provided script, but the syntax doesn't allow me to enter "nothing" as a password. Is there some way I can disable the supervisor password-option using WMI? I noticed that there's a vbs-script for loading default settings included in the package but that doesn't work with a password protected BIOS. Any tips or ideas? Thanks in advance,Johan

Attached is a script to do what you request. I made this by modifying SetSupervisorPassword.vbs (which is inside the zip file at the URL you linked) to change the current password to <blank> which disables the supervisor password feature.
You can compare SetSupervisorPassword.vbs to this new script to see exactly what I did.
Hope this helps.
PS - loading default settings doesn't reset or disable BIOS passwords.

Help with Bios Password Reset Service

I am trying to use the Bios Password Reset Service for Power On password and Hard Drive Password. The current setting in the Bios is "Enabled, In Progress". The Bios sidebar help tells me that in order to complete registration for this function to open the Create Recovery Media application and "follow instructions". I am lost, there is nothing there about the Password Reset Service. I have already created the Recovery disks and even a Rescue Media disk.
I have found that in the Client Security Solution application, under the advanced tab there is a "Setup Hardware Password Reset" function but it is greyed out!
Since this function is available for selection in Bios shouldn't I be able to use it?
I am using the Windows logon password recovery function in Client Security with no problems.
Any ideas??
Thank you!!
Installed BIOS: 7LETC5WW (2.25-1.08) Release Date: 2009/01/08
Client Security Solution version: 8.20.0023.00
PS. I don't want to circumvent any passwords, I just want to activate the Hardware Password Recovery function in case I ever need it.

UPDATE:
In case anyone cares, I was finally able to figure out how to activate the Hardware Password Reset feature in my T61. Here is the solution, at least in my case:
1)Found the file in Program Files->Lenovo->Client Security Solution->HwPwReset.exe
2)Ran the file and followed the instructions
3)A "Secure Environment" was created in the hardrive and the laptop restarted
4)The laptop booted into the Secure Environment where I was asked to establish 3 security questions and answers.
5)The laptop restarted and the status of the Pasword Reset function in BIOS changed to Registered.
Now if I ever forget the Power-on or Hardrive passwords all I have to do is press F12 on boot-up, select Password Reset option, answer my security questions and voila, passwords are reset or removed. Very nice!
BTW, I called Lenovo technical support twice and after talking to 3 "techs" and one supervisor they had no clue on how to do this. Go figure!

how do i reset it
i have recently installed a new ram i want to see how much buss its showing in bios
i have this laptop since 1.5 years
i setted password when i bought this .. now i dont remember ,, i want to reset it plz help

Hi Rymasubhan, welcome to the forums,
information on the different BIOS passwords can be found in the system's Hardware Maintenance Manual. Depending on which password(s) you set in BIOS it may be better to remember it; if you have set a supervisor password removing the CMOS battery will result in the system requiring the password at the next system start or a new mainboard.
Please bear in mind that discussion on subverting security measures, which passwords are, is forbidden by the forum guidelines.

T60 Password Reset

Hi All,
Thank you for reading my post.
I had set admin password for my system and the security chip to active. I also have a power-on password, hard disk password and fingerprints setup.
I have the power-on password handy as I use it to login everyday but the problem is I forgot the admin password. Now, I am not able to change settings in BIOS using power-on password.
I want to reset the security chip/admin password. Can anyone kindly advise on this please?
Thank you.

Hi zoozoo,
You will have to remember the supervisor password.
Here is the Lenovo help page for lost or forgotten passwords.

Password Reset Emails take longer than 6 hours to arrive, expired once they finally show up

HelloI have searched the boards and found instances of people with the same problem, but no solutions. I have been going back and forth with skype support, but all they send me are canned responses with the same useless instructions over and over..... and despite my requests to read and actually reply, or to elevate my questions to a supervisor, all I get are canned responses over and over again. The bottom line is my wife forgot her skype password, we attempt to request a password reset token be sent, said token takes longer than the 6 hours validity period to arrive and is useless by the time we get it, then we are prompted to enter her email for another reset token, which takes more than 6 hours to arrive, completing this ridiculous circle... Advise, ideas, help are all greatly appreciated Thanks

Bad news.I spent the last 4 days going back and forth due to the same issue. The email arrives after 3 hours (should we consider an improvement?) but at the time I check the email, the token is expired so I need to re-initiate the process. Very annoying and not up to today's industry standards for password recovery. Even banks take 10 minutes the most... Bottom line, Skype says this is an issue they recently expereienced. Based on the previous post, the term RECENTLY is very vague.

How can i change email address for security questions and password resets

I've noticed that my password reset requests are going to an old email acount. In fact, i am not sure where they are going.
the real issue is that i don't see a way to change it when i am logged in (it took me many tries to actually log back in) to my apple id account.
I've changed alternate email accounts, but again i don't see a way to change my destination email account for security section of the account.
Also i would rather reset these via text (ATT has this option for my cell phone account reset and i love it). I don't see an option like that from Apple at all.
Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Don't want to struggle with password resets every time i need to get in.

If you're able to supply two of your security answers, click here and follow the instructions to change your rescue email address.
If not, you need to contact Apple.

Can't download apps after password reset

Why won't my phone download any new apps after doing a password reset? If I enter the wrong password I get an error message. If I enter the correct password, nothing happens.

HI,
*"Or when I try to download a program I get this dark gray screen with a black column in the middle filled with gibberish."*
If it looks like this... it's a kernel panic.
Go here for help to Resolve Kernel Panics
Try downloading and installing the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
One of the fixes: -- an issue that prevented opening files downloaded from the Internet
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And try Safari maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.
While you have the Get Info window open for Safari, make sure it's not running in Rosetta.

Lost password and password reset utility doesn't work.

Kind of embarassing, but a couple of days ago I decided that it would be a good idea to change my password at three in the morning. Gah!
I tried using the password reset utility, but it would simply crash upon selecting my drive. I ran it from the terminal and it says that it's getting a bus error. I tried using passwd from single user mode, but it seems as though Apple has decided that that is a bad thing. Same goes for trying to run it from the terminal on the install disc.
What do I do now? Getting my files back won't be a problem, but I won't have the equipment to do that until I go home, and there are still a couple of weeks left in the semester. Being stuck using my guest account really *****!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This will give you root access to your computer:
1) Reboot into single usermode (Hold "Cmd" + "S")
2) At the Console # type:
fsck -fy
- This should come up OK after a minute, if not run it again
3) At the Console # type:
mount -uw /
4)At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root authentication_authority ";basic;"
- The above should be all on 1 line (this might format it to wrap a line)
5) At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root passwd
- This will reset the root password
6) At the Console # type:
reboot
7) You can now login with the username root

Apple ID not found. I know it exists because last password reset was on 3/2012. Did Apple delete my Apple ID?

So first I was having trouble resetting my Apple ID password. Now I think it may have been deleted. e
I automatically got signed out of Game Center and Find My Friends for which I use a different Apple ID account for. I think this happened after I upgraded to iOS 6 but not sure. I've tried to reset the password on http://appeid.apple.com using the two options.
Option 1) I don't get the email verification in my inbox (looked everywhere, even spam folder. I even added the [email protected] address to my contacts to make sure it wasn't being sent to a spam box, etc.).
Option 2) I enter my birthday but I get a message that it doesn't match with the records.
So then I went through the steps to find my Apple ID if it existed and what do you know, it says "No Apple ID found".
Could my Apple ID have been deleted? I thought Apple ID's "could not be deleted"? I know this Apple ID does exist (or did?) because my last password reset was in March 2012. I still have the old emails to prove it. I'll be so annoyed if it got deleted and all my Game Center stats are erased. (I got 11,600,000 in Temple Run!)
Other information:
I do have another Apple ID account which I use as my main account for purchases. For the rescue email and an alternate email address for this account, I use the email which is also the username of the other Apple ID account I am questioning about. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but just thought I'd put it out there in case it is.
Has this happened to anyone else? 2
I swear, this whole Apple ID nonsense started for me when trying to set up Facetime across devices on my macbook and ipad and had to make new apple ids. So confusing. Anyway, thanks in advance for any insight into this dilemma.

I'm having the same problem, what did you do?

I cannot get my password reset to start using iphone. Tried website and asked to send to my email address /also my user id and nothing coming. i called 800-275-2273 and guy said apple having issues no est time of fix?

I cannot get my password reset on apple itunes to start using my iphone. Tried website to reset password and asked to send email/same as user. Never getting email. Tried with my birthdate but that is not accepting. Called apple 8002752273 and guy told me Apple has had problems with this for weeks. Nothing he could do for me - i could answer all his security questions but birthdate. He said send a letter to itunes help , he could not provide. Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me? I checked itunes an of course there was not itunes email help available. Anyone have email for customer relations or phone# or know how to fix this?

"Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me?"
Where did you get that nonsense? Your involved question sounds like a hoax. Regardless, the phone number for Apple Customer Relations is: 800-767-2775.

HT201303 Random Apple id password resets - how to stop this?

A couple of months ago I started getting emails from Apple titled "How to reset your Apple Id password" and then more worryingly "Your Apple Id password has been reset". This happened several times over the next few days and I know this was not done by accident from me or my family because it was happening during the night UK time. I reported to Apple support and they were no help, in fact they deactivated my account until I told them to reactivate it again!
To me it seems like someone (or some system) is triggering the password reset online when trying to access my account.
After reporting it to Apple it stopped for a couple of months - now it started again! Several random resets during the night and day when I know no-one could be doing this from one of my devices.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any good ideas how to stop it? Any way to disable email authentication on the password reset and restrict to only the personal data questions?

Hi marky_mark_uk,
Two-step verification might be a good idea for you if you're seeing a lot of password reset issues you did not initiate:
