T400 BIOS passowrds. How many attempts before being locked out?

I have an old T400 which I am going to give to a student. I haven't used it for a couple of years and previously used the fingerprint login and so I have forgotten the BIOS passwords. I am fairly sure that I set the same password for all the power on, supervisor and hard disk passwords and am pretty sure I can guess the password if I had 10 or so attempts (I only use a set number of passwords for non sensitive sites) but I am concerned that I will be locked out after 3 attempts.
If I get locked out am I able to get into the bios and keep trying a different password?
Thanks

After 3 attempts, you need to restart.

How many attempts am I allowed to open an encrypted drive.

Here is the problem from the beginning.
Apple had a recall on my HD so I proceeded to archive the entire drive using Time Machine to my external 2TB drive. I then erased the drive that was going back to Apple.
After receiving the computer I proceeded to re install the backup using the external drive via USB and starting the mac in recovery mode. It gives me the option to recover using Time Machine at which point I am faced with a password to unlock the external drive. The drive will not mount until it is unlocked.
The problem is that my Mac had automatically been putting in the password for the drive for years and I had never moved it to another computer so I didn't even know there was a password on it. Now my external drive isn't getting the password from my Mac as it has a new HD and so it doesn't exist. The disk was encrypted using Disk Utility MAC OS extended encrypted.
I contacted a mac specialist today and he said I am out of luck without the password. I accept that this is my own fault however I need to know how many attempts I have at cracking my own password before I accidentaly brick the HD.
For testing purposes I formated a thumb drive the same as my external drive only this time I know the password. I then procedded to plug in 20 false passwords and then the real one. Everything worked fine, then I tried 25 false attempts at which point the thumd drive wouldn`t accept the real password. At this point the thumb drive will not accept a password and is bricked. I tried it on diferent computers with no luck.
Is there an actual number of attempts at entering a password to un-encypt a drive. I am willing to plug in passwords for a week if I need to but not if I have already bricked the HD and have no idea that I have.
Thanks

It has been two days since locking myself out of the thumbdrive and it still hasen't reset (I enter the correct password and it turns grey and shakes). I have a hint for the password on the HD so I do have a slim chance but not if it's not accepting the password.

Report to show me how many invoices are being processed by users

Hi,
I am currently working as a Accounts Payable Supervisor and I would like to run a report to show me how many invoices are being processed by users in my team.
Currently I am using Transaction F.98 (Posted Docs by user report), but this report includes posting from intercompany so all users will have duplicate invoices showing on this report.
Is there any other report I could run to get the result I am after?
Many thanks
Alex

Hello Alex,
You can also use the GL line item report (FBL3N) with the offsetting accounts (for example GR/IR A/c) which would be posted while posting the invoice. You can display the results with User Name and also can create a layout of your own which can be used time and again.
Kind Regards // Shaubhik

My old Apple Id can no longer be accessed due to my original e-mail being locked out. How can I switch Apple ID's without access to the one my phone continues to use?

My old hotmail account which has my old Apple ID (which is still connected to my phone) has been locked out. I have forgot the password to my original Apple ID and a recovery cannot be sent to my old account due to me not being locked out (believe someone has hacked it). I have set up a new Apple ID with a seperate e mail adress, however I cannot use the App Store because of my phone only recognizing the original e-mail I can no longer acess. Please help.

Contact the Apple account security team for your country and ask for assistance resetting the password: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

How Many Subscribers Before Its Featured?

Just a quick question.
For anyone out there that has a podcast featured in iTunes (like when you click on say science, its on the page that appears with graphics), How many subscribers did it take before iTunes put it up?
I know they said that one of the ways to get a podcast featured is to "Generate interest. If a podcast is taking off, it tends to get our attention".
I know its probably different from podcast to podcast, but I'm just trying to get an idea of how long its gonna take.
-Kyle @ brainfoodpodcast.com

Maybe they should be there to help you?
OH holy ****, what a concept.
...especially considering that our local Wal-mart's connection center associates have proven more knowledgeable and helpful than any associate the local VZW store has. All they see money. All they think about are the things they can say to get it. Signed up in October, got <a Thunderbolt> and cannot wait to get the **** off Verizon (oh and only took three months for my corporate discount to be applied. After the first 24 hours of time spent on hold with them, I quit keeping track). Unless their game plan is "get bought out by AT&T," they should really rewrite the book.

How many FLVs before you get problems?

I have built a small project in Captivate 4 (30 screens with 15 FLV files ranging in duration from 30 - 60 ; FLV sizes are between 3 and 6 mb). I am encountering the following issue:
Course plays fine when FLVs are unsynched
FLVs "stutter" randomly when synched to project
The video was shot at 29.97 FPS but I have re-exported it at 30 FPS. I also set preload to 100% and strangely this reduced the severity of the issue but did not fix it (I say strange as the FLVs should not be affected by the pre-loader)
Has anyone else experienced this issue? My questions are:
How can I synch FLVs without stutter during playback
Is there a limt on the number of FLVs that can be included in an individual project?
Is there a limit on the total duration of FLV footage that can be included in a project?
Much zen and good wishes to all who reply (and potential consulting gigs!!!)
Cheers
Mark

How many times do you get a new iPhone because of manufacturing defects, before you can ask for an newer model?
You don't. Apple's warranty provides for replacing your device with an identical model (same model, carrier, capacity & color).
And you aren't getting a new iPhone. You'll be getting a remanufactured iPhone, which has gone through a more thorough inspection than any new iPhone ever does.
If you want a newer model, then trade-in or privately sell your current device and use the proceeds towards purchasing another device.

How many Encodes before you have a Top Quality DVD with FCS2?

Hello
I am wanting to buy Final Cut Pro Studio as I am having problems creating good quality DVDs with FCE4 and iDVD. I was wondering how many encodes does it take to create a top quality DVD with FCS2?

Do you mean you are expecting the software to solve problems for you? It doesn't; only adds problems by forcing you to make many more decisions yourself. FCE-to-iDVD is actually a very fine production flow.
FCS and DVDSP give you far more options: many more ways to accomplish tasks and to exert subjective control over your images, sound, and video. All of those option require elevated patience, understanding, comprehension.

Forgotten my encrypted password for iPhone back up, how many attempts?

Does anyone know the limit of failed attempts for entering the password for iphone encrypted back ups?
I have so many passwords and when I created the encryption I was on a PC (now on an iMac), so if I had keychain access, I didn't know about it. Now my only option is to trawl through all the passwords I can think of! I'm just worried I might disable the whole thing and get locked out forever!
Is there a limit to failed attempts? And is it reset daily?
I don't think it makes any difference, but just in case, I better mention the back ups were taken from an iPhone 3G on a PC, transferred to an iMac (OS X 10.7.2) and I'm now using an iPhone 4s.
Thanks in advance!

How many frames should I cut out each second to get a old film look?

Hi,
What is the general rule of thumb (if their is one) of how many frames should be cut every second to achieve a choppy old film look? Or maybe it's not every second? What do you guys do?

you will get a more realistic look if you chop out frames manually
dump the playhead arbitrarily on the time line insert a cut nudge the playhead either i or 2 frames on and cut again discard the frames and either leave the black or butt the clips up for a "skip".
this really doesn't take long to do and is better than a predetermined sequence of chops made by a filter.
CGM do a free filter for aged film to add the hairs, navel lint, boogers etc . .
