Thinkadvantage Productivity Center - Password Client Security Solution

Thinkadvantage Productivity Center - Password Client Security Solution password manager opens from sys tray but after you put in your password it shuts down after first minimizing.  At one point firefox was installed, but since removed and it is still doing this.  Please help on next steps? 

Hi,
can you please explain, what exactly is happening on your system?
Based on your description I can imagine multiple situations.
Here are some of them:
- You want to save a password using the Client SEcurity Solution Password manager (CSS), BUt after you enter the password for that particular web page and you enter then also the password for the CSS applicaiton, then nothing happens.
- You try to open the main Page of CSS and after you enter the password into the first screen, then the page goes away, and the nothing more happens.
Please let me know the exact description of your situation and the version of your system, Windows and  the CSS application, so that I can optionally try to reproduce this situation.
Cheers

  • Client Security Solution password problem

    I have just had my computer reformatted to the factory settings. I wanted to avoid having to enter my password each time I logged in but, as has happened before, I forgot what the process was. Eventually I made my password blank and did something else (?) which meant that I wasn't asked for a password by Windows. Unfortunately Client Security Solutions now asks me to validate my identity ("Your Windows password was changed recently. Please enter your Windows password to synchronise with Client security Solution".)
    I have just given myself a new Windows password and will see how it goes with Client Security Solution once I reboot. My basic aim is to bypass the Windows password screen.

    Since my last message I have reset my Windows password. I no longer get the message from Client Security Solution, instead Windows tells me that I have entered the wrong password. All is OK if I then enter the new password.
    Perhaps this query should be placed on a Windows forum? I have set Windows to bypass the password entry screen, so If it weren' for this problem I would never have to enter a password.

  • "Client Security Solution" problem - not accepting password

    Hi everyone
    I have t 61
    and every time I start it ' I get a massage to enter my windows password to enroll on client security solution.
    The password is the same as the log on onto win .
    And when I fill it get an error .
    If somebody can help ?

    While this is likely a software issue, it is always helpful to know which model system and what OS you are running.
    Sometimes solutions are driver or OS dependent.
    So, what model  Lenovo 3000 systems are you both running?  Vista or XP?

  • T61p Client Security Solutions + Password Manager + Two Operating Systems

    Greetings.
        I am running both XP and VISTA on my T61p.  I use the client security solutions password manager feature for websites and network shares.  Since my model has the biometric scanner instead of entering the user ID and password I just swipe my finger.  The issue is that when I first setup client security solutions it creates some system key that I assume is tied to the security chip hardware.  Once I have it setup and working under one operating system it fails to authenticate me under the other operating system.  It brings up a windows that says, "Verify Identity" / "reason for authentication:  system key recovery"  Why am I not able to use this feature under both operating systems?
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I was using an older version of RnR, however, after the attempt to re-install, I upgraded to the latest version.  It still errors out.
    As to your second guess, I was hopefull this was the fix, I had forgotten to go through the registry.  I deleted an empty CSS folder in the Common Files folder.  And found several registry entries which have now been deleted.  I don't believe I missed any.  But unfortunately no luck.  I cleared the chip again as well.
    If it adds any clues, the system update was not working either.  But the language fix posted on the forums resolved it.  If I remember correctly the first time I tried to reinstall CSS it did ask a question/comment about language not matching.  I could be wrong, however, there have been alot of attempts.
    I spoke with tech support on the phone with the only suggestion being a clean restore of the laptop which I would like to avoid.
    Thanks again.

  • Client Security Solutions wants to synchronis​e passwords with Windows

    For some reason Client Security Solutions wants to synchronise passwords with Windows. I managed to get rid of this request years ago but it has returned. My problem is that I can't remember what my windows password is. How can I stop ThinkVantage from making this request each time I boot up my computer?

    C'mon, Lenovo!  I'm the original poster on this...your original response was that Password Manager doesn't work on Google Chrome because they don't support extensions...but they have in their latest release since at least 5 months ago!!
    Disappointing.

  • Rescue Recovery / No Windows password / Unrgistered user Client Security Solutions

    Hello....When boosted my Lenovo 3000 V100, I got the message saying that Windows could not start because the file "windows root \ system32 \ hal.dll" was either missing or damaged, and that a copy should be reinstaled. 
    I tried to access the Rescue and Recovery 3, which deployed but then asked me for my Windows password, which I don't have.  I pressed  Enter anyways and got as answer that I'm not registered with  Client Security Solutions, and that only registered users can start a session in  Rescue and Recovery  or retrieve passwords in case they had been forgotten.  What can I do?.  I bought my  laptop in Chile (spanish) and I am currently living in France.
    Thanks,

  • Help with setup of the X60s Client Security Solution

    I recently restored my X60s HDD using the Product Recovery CD from
    the Lenovo Service Center here in Singapore.  Prior to the recovery
    I had to reset the Security Chip thru the BIOS setup.
    I did not setup any password in the system during the recovery
    process.  Part of the recovery process I did was to upgrade the
    Rescue and Recovery (R&R) to Version 4.21.0016.00 and the Client
    Security Solution (CSS) to Version 8.20.0023.00
    Now that I have restored the Windows XP system and all of my
    application software, I tried to setup my Windows password and also
    use the CSS for added security of my notebook.
    When I initiate the CSS, it ask me for my Windows password so that
    the userid can be enrolled in CSS.  When I enter the password and
    press the OK button, I got this message ... "The user could not be
    enrolled with Client Security Solution"
    I think that the error is related to the resetting of the embedded
    chip, called the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the notebook.
    How do I now resolve this issue of using the CSS?
    By the way, I just bought my X60s last Aug 23 2008 and the reason
    why I had to recover my HDD is also because of the problem with the
    CSS password which for some reason it always fails to authenticate.
    Regards

The new Zens do show the popup "Creative Media Device Detected", and I can see the new Zens in Windows Explorer. The new Zens do not show up in the Zen Micro Media Explorer. Do I have to install the Zen software for each of the three Zens? If not, any ideas? Thanks
    It appears that you may have both PlaysForSure Zen Micro and non-PlaysForSure Zen Micro. As such, you should install both plugins for MediaSource. A newer version of MediaSource is also available to you.
    Here is what you should do:
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
    - Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.

  • Client Security Solution CSP Only

    Hi,
    We have a bunch of t430, t440s in our environment. I would like to encrypt certificates using tpm. (the hdd is already encrypted with mcafee)
    I have installed client security solution and it provides a CSP for tpm, which does the trick. I've created MS CA templates and able to deploy certificates.
    But the question is, We dont want to have password manager or additional software in our clients, so I would like to know if you guys figured out to install (or register) only the CSP part of the software?
    By the way, anybody out there knows a proper way to reach lenovo support for techical issues? Our reseller has limited knowledge and I dont know how to get technical support.
    Best regards.

    How to install Client Security Solution on Windows 7:
    1. Download the software from Lenovo at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 69986.html [didn't get the complete link when I copied and pasted, but CSS for Vista x64 isn't difficult to find on the Lenovo web site]
    2. Open the file tvtcss82v64_0023ww.exe to begin installation.
    3. When you get an error message about the wrong OS, do not click "OK." Instead, locate the file "Client Security - Password Manager.msi" (Look in "Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\{xxxxxxxxxxxxx}" - Note that the last folder is a randomly generated temp folder. The easiest way to find the right one is to look at the date it was created). Once you find the msi file, copy it to your desktop.
    4. Open the file from your desktop with Windows Install Editor using Wise Package Studio. Download a free copy at https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/offer?_re ... _id=55188& [this isn't the correct link, but you can easily find it on the Symantec web site.]
    5. Go to the Setup Editor and find "Launch Conditions" on the Product Tab.
    6. Remove the Condition "VersionNT64=600 OR Installed" and save the package.
    7. Click "OK" on the error message that still remains on your desktop from attempting the installation.
    8. Run the .msi file from your desktop and complete the installation

  • Client Security solution not working with fingerprint, Fingerprint Tab is unavailable

    Just recieved my Thinkpad T430 today and have done all updates on the system. I am trying to use Client Security Solution with my fingerprint however it will not allow me to do so. Whenever I go into password manager I get the message, "The requested operation requires fingerprint authentication, but the device is not installed. Please make sure the device is connected and retry the option". Any idea as to how I can fix this? Currently the fingerprint only works to logon to windows (Note: I'm Running Windows 7 Pro x64).

  • Alternative to Client Security Solution

    Hi, 
    I like the fingerprint reader on the T500, but find that the client security solution software is very slow.  Is there an alternate software that will work with the T500 fingerprint reader?

    Hi,
    if you have changed the Windows password, and by startup the CSS is asking you for password, then just simply enter the new created Windows password. That should do it. 
    If you realy want to clear everything from CSS I would do it in following steps: 
    - dissable CSS <Enhanced Security->Deactivate>
    * reboo the machine 
    - start into BIOS and clear the Security chip <this will clean everything from CSS>
    - save changes and start into OS 
    - go to Password manager and delet all your entries, as after clearing the Security chip it make no sence to have them, as all pwds are gone
    -  activate CSS <Enhanced Security-> Activate>
    * reboot the machine 
    - start from the scratch with all the passwords etc. 
     Let me know, if this help

  • Client Security Solution with TPM

    Hi,
    after upgrading the z61p from XP to Vista I am not able to get the client security solution (css) up and running.
    I always get amessage form css on the screen that an error occurred during connecting the TPM on this computer (sorry, I'm using the german language versions, therefore my translation might not be exactly the same what you get from the english version).
    The message-box shows the additional hint, that the problem might be caused by the firewall or an antivirussoftware (both are actually disabled).
    What I tried out already:
    - delete and reactivate the TPM before installing css
    - delete TPM (without reactivation) and install css
    - connected to my domain, and not connected
    - firewall disabled and enabled
    - antivirus running and stopped
    Has anybody an idea what else I can do to get the css with the password-manager up to work??
    Regards - Rudolf

    Nop.
    I'm a little bit frustrated by Lenovo, because of the poor support.
    The notebook is excellent, but the support .....
    In other newgroups if the members are not able to answer or solve the problem the supplier/moderator does.
    Here it seems to be different.

  • Client Security Solution And System Key Recovery

    Hey,
    I have an IBM ThinkPad T40 2373-82M Laptop. Everytime Windows starts up Client Security Solution displays a box which is prompting me to enter a password of some sort for authentication. It indicates at the top of the window that the reason for authentication is 'System Key Recovery'. If I click the 'OK' button it brings up another window indicating that authentication has failed and that the security key could not be recovered. I do not recall ever entering a password in the Client Security Soultion programme or anywhere else on my laptop. I am not the first owner of this laptop and I am wondering if the previous owner may still have his/her password in the system? Is there any methid for which I could reset/restore these key's?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ash

    Thanks for the reply.
    I must say I have read various issues on the web regarding this particular software buddled with Lenovo T series and although I will be uninstalling it I do not believe there is any support on this whatsoever. Too bad cause I did want to use it ...

  • A problem with Client Security Solution patch for Mozilla Firefox3

    After I updated Client Security Solution to 8.20, the password manager cannot work in FF3 again.When I tried to reinstall the patch, it asked me whether to overwrite the files or cancel.  Then it indicates 'This patch has already been installed on this computer', but the problem exsits.

    Borntofly, I am glad that you brought this up as I have not been able to successfully use FF3 with CSS 8.1 or 8.2 and have provided feedback in this thread:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Utilities&thread.id=937&view=by...
    As much as I would like to upgrade to FF3, I have not had any success in either using the manual configuration changes noted in the above thread or by using the CSS Patch for FF3 provided by Lenovo on 8/6/08 found here:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70132
    This patch appears to duplicate the manual efforts provided by member KTP in message 12 in the above provided link from what I can see.
    I have never had an issue using the TV password manager and IE7.  It is a very reliable combination.
    I have no issues at all using FF 2.0.0.16, CSS 8.1 or 8.2 (now on 8.2), and Thinkvantage (TV) Password Manager 3.00.0106.00 (came with CSS 8.2).  I have never had Lenovo Password Manager on my T60.  Everything works reliably well with this combination.
    In 3 hours of work yesterday, I was able to get TV Password Manager to show up in the FF3 add-ons as TV Password Manager 3.01 and this is the only way I was able to make it work, but only for a single browser session:
    1. Tools --> Add-Ons
    2. Disable TV Password Manager, then restart FF3
    3. Tools --> Add-Ons
    4. Enable TV Password Manager, then restart FF3
    5. TV Password Manager will work for the duration that I am using the browser session
    Once I close FF3 and reopen it, TV Password Manager no longer works.  The only method I have found to "reset" everything is to perform the above sequence, but again it only works for the single browser session.  It is very consistent.  Although in does not show this in the Add-Ons page, it almost appears that the TV Password Manager add-on is disabled after I close the browser and needs to be manually disabled then enabled as noted above.  If this is due to a conflict with other software on my laptop, I have not been able to determine this.
    In my efforts yesterday, I spent time uninstalling CSS 8.1 or 8.2, FF, and even removed registry entries related to these packages in order to start with a fresh install, all without any success.  I tried fresh installations and added the manual changes promoted by KTP and also tried fresh installations using the Lenovo patches, all without success.  I made attempts to troubleshoot to root cause by removing all add-ons except TV Password Manager, and also tried preventing certain software from installing at startup via msconfig, as well as multiple settings changes within FF3, all to no avail.  Again FF 2.0.0.16 continues to work very well with little effort on my part.  I simply install the software and ensure that TV Password Manager 2.0 in installed in the add-ons and that's it.
    In the above FF3 thread, it appears that others have had success with KTP's changes so I am a little frustrated that I cannot make FF3 and TV Password Manager work reliably.  I have FF2 and IE7 working so I have plenty of good alternatives at this time.  I will post this at the FF3 above as well to see if anyone has any feedback. 
    Moderator(s), do you wish for this thread to be integrated in the original thread for this issue?

  • T61p 6460 74M - Client Security Solution Problem

    I am having problems with the Client Security Solution running under Vista
    I am able to log in OK using the fingerprint reader or password however after the system boots the CSS widow appears asking for password, I enter the password but it does not recognise this and requeste retry or cancel. If I retry the password entry it advises that "Authentication Failed". I then cancel and the CSS window offers to configure the CSS - hit "Yes", requests verification of identity with password - I enter password - response is "Authentication Failed" and back to square 1.
    Can the CSS be reinstalled and then reinitialised. This problem may have arisen after I upgraded my Norton Internet Security 2007 or 2008 to NIS 2009, or when I reset Internet Explorer 7. I note at this time the Password Manager dissappeared from IE7.
    Does anybody have some advice please since this useful function - Password Manager - has now been either disabled or removed.
    Regards Chris R.

    I had problem with CSS also after installing (maybe) Norton Update. No answer from CSS at all any where, and I could not start it it either.
    I reinstalled it with the application:
    C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution\css_admin_vista_launcher.exe
    An then it works again - installation will delete all store passwords!
