Unable to set supervisor password on Satellite L755 BIOS

Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me with this issue - I have a toshiba L755 laptop, and was setting up the security protocols on the bios but was unable to set up the supervisor password.
I registered the user password, as well as the hdd password - both user and master passwords worked for the hdd password, but when I try to select (by pressing the down arrow from the user password on the bios password section) the supervisor password, it just skips over it.
Please, any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to set supervisor password using option in Toshiba Assist > secure > Supervisor password? It is small Toshiba utility designed for supervisor password registration.

Tecra A11-1EG - cannot access BIOS after setting supervisor password

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help ?
We have just started to put a supervisor password onto our Tecra A11 laptops so our pupils cannot set passwords on the hard drive etc.
To get into the BIOS and set a BIOS password, we press F2 as the machine starts.
We then go into the security option, then supervisor password.
Having entered the password we want to use twice, we press F10 to save etc.
The machine starts ok and goes in to windows without a hitch.
The problem we have now is that we cannot get back into the bios at all.
As the machine starts we press the F2 key as before but unlike previously the screen just remains blank and the 'Toshiba leading Innovation >>>' screen no longer appears.
If we keep our finger on the F" key or keep pressing it the laptop just restarts without ever getting to the BIOS screen where I assume we will get asked for the supervisor password we set earlier?
Is there another key we should be pressing as the laptop starts ?
I should add we have added a supervisor password for the BIOS security screen on three of our laptops and all three have the same issue.
Thanks
Steve

I think this should be useful for you:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0B032D0000R01.htm
In some cases you need to press the "INS" key while Toshiba logo appears.
Then a prompt for the Supervisor Password would appear and if the password is certified then the BIOS could be entered by pressing the "F2" key.

Unable to set administrator password

Well, friends, it all started (sniff) when I tried to use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my 10.3.9 boot drive. CCC asks me for an administrator password and I didn't know I had one. CCC says:
"Authentication error:
sudo: no password entry for root!
Number:1"
I know the routine where you boot from the install disk and reset the password there, however the only password options offered are user and "application server". No admin password option was offered.
Someone suggested going into Terminal and typing "sudo password root" but that lead nowhere also.
What am I doing wrong? I wish to clone my boot drive for backup porpoises.
thanx

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.

30EA3: Unable to set new password containing semicolon

Hello Forum,
I just encountered an error while trying to change my password on an Oracle 10.2.0.5 Database. I entered the command "password" in the SQL worksheet and pressed F9. I was asked to enter old and new passwords both of them containing a semicolon (";"). I just got the message "password could not be changed" (I hope I translated the message correctly from german).
SQL*Plus does accept the new password though...
I'm running SQL Developer on Windows XP SP3 with the bundled jdk (shown as 1.6.0_11) and connecting to Oracle 10.2.0.5 on Windows 2000.
The normal login does accept my new password after changing it via SQL*Plus.

dhalek

Satellite L670-134 How to delete Supervisor password?

Hey, i have an epic problem.
I was with some friends in a w-lan net and then some Trojan were placed to every of our Laptops. Now he took my administrator rights and set an Supervisor Password.
Now i cant use my Laptop anymore.
Can u help me pls fast ?

You know what supervisor password is?
The supervisor password is only to secure Bios settings and Hardware setup.
Mostly set by an administrator so a user can't change Bios settings.
The user may start and shut down the notebook however he wants and he is able to work with the machine normally - he just needs the supervisor password to enter the Bios or Hardware setup.
So its kind of security and if you dont know this password, you can not delete this
In such case you have to contact the Toshiba ASP in order to remove this ;(

Bios Supervisor Password on Qosmio F30?

Hi All,
I want to set the password only for the bios (Supervisor)! How can I do that in Qosmio F30 (bios ACPI version 1.70)?
Regards

Hi
Usually you could set the password in the BIOS. Simply access to the BIOS and go through the single pages. I think the password option should be placed on the first page.
But be careful! If you forget the password you will be not able to remove it without any help from the authorized service partner!!!

Satellite A100-206 supervisor password issue

HI
We have a Satellite A100-206 in the office.
A colleague trying to protect the laptop has set user password in bios.
I don't know what exactly she do but at the bootup a password is requested.
Then she ask me to remove the password so I have typed the password, entred the bios and clear the user password.
But doing this I 've also note that the supervisor password was already set but not selectable (grey colored) .
Anyhow I've saved and reboot.
The problem is that now the O.S. start without asking a password, but I cannot enter the bios anymore because it ask a password and is not the one the collegue remember to have set.
Why I cannot enter anymore in th bios as user?
I've also search the hwsetup in windows to re set the user password as indicated in the manual but this software is not present.
best regards
Diego

Thank you for the reply.
The operating system is windows xp
I've tried to use hwsetup but i can't find hit in the laptop, reading the manual it should be included in toshiba assist appilcation or locate in the control panel but is not there.
I have tryied also to download toshiba assit from support site and re install but hwsetup is still not present.
I can't find the single program "hwsetup" in the list of software downloadable for my laptop , do you know were I can dowload it or in wich software package is included?
Thanks

Satellite Pro C660-29W: BIOS won't let me enter the supervisor password

Computer is a satellite pro C660-29W PSC1ME-00U00KEN
I've set a BIOS supervisor password (no user password is set). I know the password.
If I hit F2 it enters the text editor but does not give any opportunity to enter the password, and so whilst I can view everything there is no way to change anything.
Any suggestions?

Can this be helpful?

Satellite Pro A200 - Supervisor Password Utility Setup fails

Hello,
I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32
After the successful installation of the operating system, I started installing the various drivers and utilities downloading them from the Toshiba site.
When I try to install the "Supervisor Password Utility" the setup fails showing a message box which says "The serial number is invalid".
Same problem with another setup: "Flash Cards Support Utility"
Does anybody know how to solve this problem and which serial number is invalid?
Thanx in advance,
mme000

Hi,
You are having the same trouble as other people on these forums.
If you want to fix it yourself, you would need to look at the disk image on the disk that came with your toshiba, figure out which version of the application was included on that, you might be able to find that version on the website for a different model and different country (for instance, on the canadian website, for a totally different computer than my UK computer, i found a version of the flashcards support utility that works with mine.) But i don't think its possible to see what's on the restore disk without instaling it, i.e. wiping everything off your harddrive in the process.
It really is extremely disappointing and frustrating. If anyone knows a way to communicate directly with toshiba about this problem without having to pay some sort of support fee, I would be very interested to hear about it. It seems noone from toshiba actually reads anything from these forum. It seems like a real wasted resource to me....

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.

Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online

Please do.
Good ridance

Can`t open password tab to set a supervisor password in security menu of BIOS. BIOS freezes

few days ago I bought one Thinkpad T60. All is fully functional excepting of one issue with BIOS password. It seems there is no password set previously since I can entry the BIOS menu and set all particular entries w/o any problem. Hovewer when I come to the point to set a BIOS password, the BIOS freezes suddently. Can anybody know what could be the reason for that? Is there some solution how to fix it? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Also just to clarify, reflashing a bios chip won't change the password or remove it, but if the chip is reburnned, which is often done when remanufacturing a board the entire chip's data is replaced. I don't know if this is possible or not, but since you suspected the system was "hacked", it is possible someone improperly reburned the wrong data onto the chip making the supervisor password option non operational. If (and I do stress the "if") this is the problem, then you can get the board repaired. This type of repair is often required if a bios flash is interrupted and the system becomes unusable, and usually costs $100-200.
Your best option might be to just use the system for what it is, or just replace the system board and be done with it.
Good Luck

I fixed it by changing the way my InitialDirContext is created.
Previously I was using:
InitialDirContext ctx = oracle.ldap.util.jndi.ConnectionUtil.getDefaultDirCtx(hostname, portNum, adminName, adminPass);
Now I'm using:
Hashtable env = new HashTable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://" + hostname + ":" + portNum);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, adminName);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, adminPass);
InitialDirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
