X1 Carbon - Can't unlock Bios settings

Hi!
For testing purposes I've set an supervisor password and set a lock on the Bios settings. Since then I can't access the settings because I'm never asked for the supervisor password. Biometric features are enabled. So when I restart and press F1 I get into the bios without beeing asked for a password but I can't change values there.
Solved!

Hi WhiteThinPad21, welcome to the forums,
ensure the system is totally shut down, no restart, hybrid sleep or hibernation state and then press and hold F1 when you start the system. Enter the supervisor when required and after that you should be able to change the settings.

Y510p Bios mod, Best unlocked bios settings.

Im starting this thread so that for all who have unlocked their bios for wirelesscard whitelist removal or what ever, using the link on techInferno using svl7 mod can have a guide as to what settings can be used to improve the performance of their y510p and what settings to stay away from. For those who have difficulties in retrieving the files from techInfernos website can pm me. Any and all suggestions and requests are welcome. Happy modding.

Hi shfearon
Thanks for the BIOS files.
I also posted on TI but as you know, no one is reviewing my posts (genuine). Could you please download and provide the VBIOS file as well please, they are in the following thread in second post.
http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/4668-lenovo-y410p-y510p-unlocked-bios-wlan-whitelist-mod-vbios-mod.html
I think these are the files -
http://forum.techinferno.com/attachments/lenovo-ibm/12111d1406408972-ultra-bay-vbios-%5Bv3.05%5D_modified.zip
Also, I have another question -
Can I just flash the VBIOS? I dont need the BIOS unlocked, just the options that VBIOS can provide to play around with the voltages and settings of the Ultrabay GPU.
Thanks again and here is a Kudo for your efforts.

T42 Can't change BIOS settings

I can get into the BIOS fine, I just can't change any of the settings in the BIOS settings screens because it says I need to be in 'admin' mode. I've entered the BIOS by hitting the blue 'Access IBM' button, F1, or F12 and I run into the same problem regardless. This was previously my brother's laptop and he set a BIOS password which I know and he was telling me one of the F-keys will get you into admin mode but he forgets which one.
Thanks for any help.

excellent decision. Bios passwords should only be used in rare cases. For years used corporate thinkpads were dumped on the market with passwords, which only served to tarnish thinkpads reputation when buyers get stuck with them. Luckily the brokers have learned not to accept them unless the corp remove the passwords first.

Bug? Can't unlock security settings

I am trying to change the security settings of my Mac running Mavericks.
Whenever I click on the "unlock" button, there's a short flicker of that button – but no unlock dialog comes up.
This is strange and very annoying. Does it work for you?
Repairing access rights doesn't change the situation.

I had a similar problem?
When I tried to open the padlock, it showed me the password dialog, but shook "no" at me every time I entered the correct password.
I went to the Users & Groups pane, unlocked it successfully (same password), then went back to Security & Privacy, and it unlocked this time.

P55A-G55 OC can't change BIOS settings

About this, I've also got a P55A-G55, and overclocking in BIOS seems impossible, all hertz related options are inactive and I can't choose them in BIOS, let alone change the values. Anyone have any ideas? Some option or something that needs to be enabled? Help would be very much appreciated

Oh, really? I just thought I wouldn't waste space with my very similar problem, but alright, will do.
Anyway, I should clarify/alter my problem description. My problem is this: I have set some values in BIOS, and my first question is why does the OS max out the multiplier eventhough I have manually set a lower value? That is to say, I have set it at 20, yet in the OS it is at 22. Anyone know why?
Second question, I have also set pretty low voltages, but the physical values are much higher than what I have manually set. That is to say, the values set in BIOS do not apply. Is that to do with the board?

HP Probook 4710s can't overclock. (Can't acess BIOS settings)

Hello! I have a Probook 4710s with WIndows 7 64-bit.
I tried to overclock it, but its seems I can't acess that ''configuration'' page.. I just get to press the F10 key to acess the startup menu, and then BIOS configuration, where I can just toggle some actions etc.. no overclocking there..
Is it even overclockable?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Business notebooks are not made to be overclockable. That is outside of the design parameters.
There are unofficial utilities that will let you bypass firmware and overclock the CPU, but they will also allow you to destroy your CPU. Overclocking the memory primary\secondary timings and systemboard buses and voltages are also not feasible with official BIOS ROM files.

But i have big problem with my ge70 2pe. While playing civilization 5 i have 92-95 cpu temperatures and 89-92 gpu. Do you have any ideas what can i do? Undervolting or underclocking the gpu?

Satellite C870-12E - BIOS settings greyed out

I recently noticed that i cannot change settings in BIOS anymore, almost all settings are greyed out. I'm not sure when this happened, maybe after updating to BIOS version 1.6 but it could also happened after upgrading to Windows 8. I'm just not sure. What i do know that it was ok before.
What i did notice is that in the Post-screen (where you can use F2) on the lower right side of the screen there is a sort of Power button Logo which i never noticed before.
All efforts to push whatever buttons falied to edit settings in the BIOS.
Hope someone can help out.
Thanks...

Tried it with and without supervisor password.
In the first post i mentioned the Powerbutton like logo with blue dots around it in the first boot screen. The strange thing is that my wife has exactly the same laptop and version 1.6 BIOS but she doesn't have that logo and can edit the BIOS settings without any problem.
So i keep wondering if that logo has something to do with it. Is it asking me to press and/or hold a certain key combination? I've tried anytihing i could think of but nothing works.
I also tried switching Fast- and Normal boot once again with no result.
Even with Fastboot enabled i still get the "F2" screen :(
Problem remains that under any circumstance i can enter the BIOS but not change anything but the user password.

Would like to buy another CPU, but not sure if I am getting the most out of this one.
How do you mean? If your CPU is correctly recognised, and operates at its native speed of 2.3ghz, then you're getting the most out of it.
Does your system work without issues? Does it do everything you require of it, and do it well?
If yes, and yes, then stop fretting and enjoy your system, instead of trying to look for problems that aren't there.
Of course, if you want to try and push your system further, then you'll have to start overclocking. But we have a whole seperate area for that here, and you should post your questions there.

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

I purchased a factory unlock I phone 4s and to use it on idea cellular network..can you help in settings of 3G please?

In ? which country and I mean a Store owned and run by Apple
I see Apple do not have any stores in India
Idea (if you are in India) is not an approved Apple carrier but IF your iPhone
is a genuine unlocked iPhone it should work on a GSM network
although all the features will not be supported
Put in a microsim and activate through iTunes
