Z61M - Fingerprint reader disabled and now I cannot access windows

My fingerprint reader had been causing issues, so I went into the Thinkpad menu and under "manage security options" , clicked on the fingerprint icon and then preceeded to delete what I thought was the fingerprint option/software. I mistakenly thought I would be able to use the password to access windows, however, I'm now unable to get past the CSS User ID window. I can only access Thinkvantage by pressing the blue button when prompted but can't find anything in there to help me. The finger print reader now fails everytime and the Control/Alt/Del button only brings up the CSS User ID and when I hit "ok" it states - "User was not enrolled or his data cannot be opened". When I click options on the CSS ID window and then click "I am not enrolled and want to use my windows password", it states "unable to bypass logon because the user is enrolled" - which contradicts the first message????
I'm really confused and the Lenovo help desk offered no assistance except to "restore to factory settings" but that means I'll lose everything - surely there is an easier solution to getting access to my laptop without a complete reset.

I've managed to work this out myself by going into BIOS and disabling the Security chip which allowed me then to use the password to get access. From there I have now disabled the finger print reader correctly. Hopefully this helps someone else down the track!! Cheers.

How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
Thank you

Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

I have purchased an adobe product and now I cannot access it?

I had adobe installed on my computer and now I cannot access it. Every time I try it asks me to buy the pro program

Perhaps we can help. The problem might be coming because Adobe have lots of things and you are using the wrong "Adobe".
So, what is the "Adobe" that you purchased?
What is the "Adobe" you are trying to run?
Please give the full name of both.

HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!!!!!!

I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!

Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion. I've done all that. I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password. I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password). My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do. His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume). We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections. They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired. Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit. My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely. The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed? I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard. I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update. Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

I upgraded new software onto my iphone 4 however it stopped syncing and said error so when i tried to access my phone the itunes USB was showing in my phone screen and now i cannot access my phone

i upgraded new software onto my iphone 4 however it stopped syncing and said error so when i tried to access my phone the itunes USB was showing in my phone screen and now i cannot access my phone

When it stopped and said error, what was the error? You are saying that you disconnected the phone from the computer and all you see is the USB showing on the phone? Then you need to reconnect to the computer and restore the phone.

TA21328 I downloaded a security update and now I cannot access my online banking web site. How do I fix it?

Does anyone have a quick fix for this? I downloaded the latest security update and now I cannot access web page for online banking.

It is not asking what part of your country you are in, but what country/region you are in.
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have such a device there are links in the article that will show how to recover your purchases.
In addition, the laptop may have drowned but the hard drive is probably fine. You should be able to find someone who can extract the drive from the laptop and recover your personal data from it.

I installed 10.8.2 and now I cannot access, mail, safari, app store etc. HELP !

I installed the update for Mountain Lion. And now I cannot use most of my stuff. Including Mail, APP Store ( where I would go to get any downloads and updates) Safari etc.....
Please help!

Well, then you have a unique but fairly big problem... something went wrong during the update.
Suggestion: Download the combo update and do it again: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581
If that doesn't help, you might need to re-install the system. Keep backing up!

I have an old Apple id, created without the email address, and now I cannot access the account

My account got hacked, so I had to change my Apple ID and related info.
My original Apple ID was just my name (not an email address). Now I cannot access the songs and other materials I purchased with that ID.
I cannot recreate the ID because currently IDs must be email addresses.
Any ideas? Someone else posted this question too, but got no feedback. That was over a year ago.

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can only choose not to use it. Also, your @me.com address is associated with this ID and cannot be moved to another ID or be used to create a new ID.
All you could do is create a new ID using a different email address with your name in it. If you do you will have an associated @icloud.com email address.

HT204053 I just changed my AppleI D and password and now I cannot access icloud on my phone or ipad.

Due to unexplained charges to my itunes account I just changed the email address and password associated with the account. Now I cannot access icloud on my iphone 4s or on my ipad. Help!?

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

I installed windows 7 recently and also Adobre reader XI, and now I cannot open any of my previously created pdfs. Every time I get the message: Error opening the file. Access denied. What is going on?

Recently I had to install windows 7 in my notebook because XP doesn't have more support. Before installing I backed up all my files to my external HD. Now that I instaleed windows 7 and also installed Acrobat Reader XI, I just cannot open any of my pdf files created prior to installing windows 7.
Looking for help online, I found the solution of security and giving me access as an administrator to all my files, but it still keeps the same...
Can some one please help me out?? I really need to work on many of this files ASAP.
Thank you all in advance for you attention,
Best,
Henrique

Can you start Adobe Reader?

I recently upgraded my phone to 5.0 and now I cannot access any of the ringtones I have purchased. They are on the desktop but will not transfer to my phone. Any suggestions?

I recently upgraded my phone to 5.0 and now cannot access my ringtones theat were purchased. They are in my itunes on the desktop but won't sync to my phone. Any suggestions??

OK. In iTunes on the computer, since you have the ringtones there, one simple method to try would be to drag them to the desktop, and then directly from the desktop to your phone in the Devices menu in iTunes.

I received an email that I have unused money from a gift card. I do not have the gift card and now I cannot access the unused money. What do I do? Phone support could not help me.

I was notified by iTunes that I have unused balance from a gift card. I no longer have said gift card and now cannot access the unused balance.
Customer support on the phone could not help me.

You do not need the card once it's been redeemed. The balance will be tied to your iTunes Store account. Just log into your account on any of your devices and you should be able to see and spend the balance.
There is no telephone support for the iTunes Store, just so you know for future issues. The iTunes Store provides support only via a web form.
Regards.
