T410 power on password problem

hi,
i have a t410. it was working normally. i removed the keyboard for a reason, then place it again. After that, i powered on and black screen appeared with a small lock icon upper left, requesting password. as far as searching on google, it should be bios password. i cannot enter bios as well.
i removed the keyboard again to remove the bios battery, removed it, waited for a while and place everything. i powered on the computer but it is the same.
1- why it doesnt appear before keyboard removal and started to appear after that?
2- how can i handle that?
thanks...

realistically, the only thing left for you to do, is to call Service for further advice.

Power-on password problem

i have a hp mini 2140 and I took the cmos battery out, disconnected power and battery, let it sit for 2 hours, pressed power on switch maybe to discharge any power left in the system. Plugged ac power in (cmos bat not connected) powered up and I still get the power on password with pic for a key, you make three entries and then you get the big asterick symbol, no code, and then you cannot do anything else until you power it off and then when you power back on and your back to the power on password request. I then replaced the TPM module with another one from a system with no power on password requirment. No luck.

Hi,
Unfortunately, business machines have more stringent security than consumer models - they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial No. and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case.
If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password - the only other method that will work on these machines is to replace the bios chip - an example of what you require can be see on the following link.

T410s hard disk password problems

I recently set user+master hard disk passwords. I know them both. I can boot up with the user password at the HDP prompt.
I now want to change the user password, but it is greyed out in the BIOS. I pressed F1 at the HDP prompt and another icon appears. I presume it wants the master password, but it doesn't accept this nor the user password.
Can anyone explain?

T61 power-on password corrupt

Hi folks,
I have a T61 in the office and I needed to restore it to defaults for use by another user. The computer had a power-on and hard disk password that was the same, set by the previous user. I went into the BIOS with this password and was able to clear the hard disk password. However when I tried to clear the power-on password it said it could not while the supervisor password was set. This was strange to me since all the passwords were the same and it never requested a supervisor password before.
I then proceeded to try to clear the power-on password with the instructions in the ThinkPad T61,
R61, and R61i (14.1-inch widescreen) Hardware Maintenance Manual. This involved disconnecting the main and backup batteries. After this it started up showing two messages, one that the date and time was not set and the second that the BIOS settings were in error and that it was using the default values. I then still got the power-on password prompt however. This time none of the previous passwords I set works! I'm locked out of the machine.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Fingerprint instead of power on password not working any more

Hi,
my current configuration is T530i model 2392.
I recently updated BIOS to version 2.52 from 12. Feb. 2013 and of course some other software especially solid state drive firmware Version FWSS28 from 14. Feb 2013.
In BIOS Predesktop Authentication is enabled in addition with harddisk password and power on password.
Now to my problem:
before updating I software I could start with only swiping my finger over fingerprint sensor, without providing any kinde of password for harddisk or power on password. I received information about success & windows 7 (64 bit) was booting.
Now I need to provide power on password all the time, seems that fingerprint or BIOS now has a bug ?!
I did several things like:
disabling every password request in BIOS rebooting...
disabling deleting fingerprints on laptop and rebooting...
unchecked all necessary settings in fingerprint security software like SSO, power-on-password, fingerprint sensor should replace power on / hard disk password..... reboooting...
- then enabled everything again which I unchecked before.... rebooting....
Nothing has worked so far, so there it seems to be a bug in predesktop authentication...
Could you please advice or provide a fix ?

Hi,
here short terms how I fixed it:
- opened fingerprint program & disabled everything which is of concern for authenticating with fingerprint
- deleted fingerprint with that software too
- disabled biometric device with windows tools
- deleted TPM with tpm.msc
- removed everything from BIOS regarding fingerprint, password for booting, hdd, etc
- resetted fingerprint with bios too
- loaded bios setup default (cause it was a BIOS update)
- shut down computer
- startup again and set everything in BIOS which is needed and has been disabled before
- did the same in windows (enabled everything again)
- rebootet.... prayed... computer prompts with "fingerprint matched" ==> first YEAH
- provided boot up password once....
- shutdown again....
- started with enrolling fingerprint only.... no prompt for password any more.... second YEAH
DONE

Power on password error

I have an HP Compaq nc6200 laptop in which I have set up a power on password for. The problem is, when I try to enter my password, it does not work. I can enter my password up to 3 times then I get a little picture that looks like a circle with 3 lines sticking out the top and bottom. Is there a way I could solve this?
Thank you!

Refer to the link mentioned below which is he manual for this particular model and check under the heading
"1.2 Resetting the Computer" and follow the steps to clear the password.

Remove the main battery and the RTC battery. and then power the notebook up with AC power. That is supposed to clear the password.

Hello,
For you to be able to remove the Power On password, you need to remove the rear cover, then remove the metal cover that protects the motherboard and remove the jumper located close to the memory modules.
Then try to power on the system and see if that resolved your problem.
Thanks,

Hi Vicki,
You would have needed to create the reset flash drive when originally setting up the password for option you're prompted for to work.
If you normally sign-on with an email and password, you can reset the password via another PC from the Microsoft page on the following link.
https://account.live.com/password/reset
Alternatively, if this is a Local Account, try the free application Here.
A final option would be to reinstall the OS via the Recovery Partition or your Recovery Media - these options are described in the HP document on the following link.
