Unable to set HDD passwords for Qosmio G30

I have tried in vain to find documentation on how to do this -- using the F2 method to access these bios options never works, I have tried using config assist / password utility and can find no options. I have upgraded the bios to 1.70
Does anyone know how to access the bios to enable the hdd password functionality ?

If you can not find this option I presume it is simply not available. Sorry but I dont have other explanation. Checking users manuals there is nothing about HDD password on Qosmio G30. Have you check it too?
By the way: I am not 100% sure but I believe that HDD password protection is only on business notebook like Tecra and Portege available, not on multimedia notebook like Qosmio series.

  • Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`.

    When starting Server Preferences, I receive a window with the following text:Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`. There may be an error with the Open Directory Service.
    This started to occur after I used the command changeip to change the ip of the service.
    I've tried (Re)starting Open Directory Service, but that doesn't resolve it.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this error? I'd like to be able to user Server Preferences again!

    One of our servers (10.6.8)  that had been running for months suddenly started generating that error message when trying to access Server Preferences.  Workgroup Manager, which seems to use the same login information, accessed just fine. We tried deleting access information in Keychain, to no avail. What finally worked for US was:
    - Via Server Admin, (in Open Directory > Settings > General) change the Role: Open Directory from Master to Standalone
    - This (for us) then restored access to Server Prefs
    - Use Server Admin to change the Role back to Master
    Warnings - 1)  backup first  2) you will have to reinstall the master password, and  3) ALL accounts were lost and had to be recreated.

  • How to set HDD password?

    Hi,
    Could someone please help me in setting the password for TOSHIBA STOR.E ART 3 ( 2.5" 1TB) HDD?

  • Few questions about setting HDD password in BIOS

    In the BIOS, theres an option to set passwords on the hard drives
    Has anybody used this?
    What exacty does this do? Makes you have to enter a password whenever you access the hard drive?
    Please expound

    If you use your notebook for private purposes only and if there is no risk for you that someone else can have access to your data I dont recommend you to set HDD password.
    It is very nice and good feature if you have sensible data saved on your HDD and use your notebook in company or take it with you.
    All other information you can pick up from the Toshiba document.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

    How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

    You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
    For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

  • I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

    To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
    Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
    To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
    It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

  • Set the password for zip file in unix

    Hi All,
    I have used the below command to zip the file and it is working fine.
    cd /YYYY;zip -r ZZZZ.zip ZZZZ.TXT
    While using the below command to set the password on zip file , I am getting error like "zip error: Invalid command arguments (encryption not supported)
    zip -P password -r ZZZZ.zip ZZZZ.TXT
    Can you please help me how to set the password for zip file in UNIX.
    Thanks,

    Do you use any characters in the password that might confuse the zip command? (like '-' or ';'?)
    If I use the command in RHEL4:
    cd /tmp
    zip -P password -r tt.zip gconfd-oracle
    adding: gconfd-oracle/ (stored 0%)
    adding: gconfd-oracle/lock/ (stored 0%)

  • For printer LaserJet Profession​al CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

    Dear All
    for printer  LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

    What Windows OS are you using?  Are you networked?
    If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess.  If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
    If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access. 
    Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
    If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

  • Unable to set parent context for this record.

    Has anyone seen this error when doing an import? In my case I was doing an import to the Opportunity Product record.
    the full error message is
    Unable to set parent context for this record. Please make sure that the parent record is valid and you have permission to modify the parent record.
    I was attempting to populate one field on the record with data.

    Hi,
    Was there a resolution to this that you found, cause it's driving me crazy.
    We've resorted to manually created a product in OnDemand with an EUI and exported it but we can't reimport it to overwrite it as we get the same error message "Unable to set parent context for this record"
    The opty and the product both exist as they got manually created, although when you export them there are now 2 of them (I see this in reporting as well????)
    Besides the Opty-Product External ID what else is required to do an import to overwrite?
    regards
    Alex
