Computer Help

Hi computer geeks, I have a few questions:

1.) How do I change the password for the black screen with the blue box that says PASSWORD?

2.) How can I disable that so that it doesn't pop up every time I turn my laptop on?

I have a Toshiba Satellite A505 running Win7.

Thanks

computer problems again? j/k

Haha YES!

I mean it's not a problem it's just a glitch that stayed from the last time I never did anything but now it's just annoying.. I was gona text you but I didn't want you to think I was just USING you for your computer skillz ahhaha

Right Click on "Computer", Click "Manage".

A two-pane window should pull up. In the Left Pane, look for: "Local Users and Groups", expand that. Two folders should be visible underneath , click on the "Users" folder.

In the right pane, all the accounts should become visible. Find your account, and right click on it. Click Properties, and in there you should have the option to disable the password.

I'm recalling this off the top of my head, so this may be slightly incorrect. You may also have to do this as the administrator.

After I'm in Computer Management I only see
System Tools
Storage
Services and Applications

Go to control panel, click on users. Then do what cmay119 said. You might also need to delete other users from your computer or it may prompt you each time you boot up. Then, post a pic of your cans.

Yes that's the password from the account on my computer .. but that's AFTER I the black screen with the blue box....

Actually I think it's the bios password.

-I want to change the password.

-I want to disable it.

where is a facepalm image when we need one? j/k

reboot your computer, and start hitting either one of these keys { ESC, F1, F12 } before or after you enter your password. It should pull up a screen with a whole bunch of stuff. there you can change or disable the password.

page 150 of your manual will tell you how to do it

(google told me that)

smash f2, f10, del, f12 at the startup when you turn your laptop on (go into setup - i dont know what the key is but those are common ones)

i also have a satellite a505 with win7 (it's the one with the i7) but i've never encountered a situation where the bios asks to input the bios password? it just.. boots. lol

Get a MAC

You have a BIOS password set.

Jeez, why do you have a bios password? Do what r5a said, but include �delete� in those options. Find the setting that refers to bios password, and delete or disable it.

from what i read, looks like the toshiba laptop will force the user to set a BIOS password unfortunately after a random amount of time.

Sell Bike
Uninstall TA
Delete System32
Fuck girl; eat pizza

YAY!!!

Thanks LeopoldStotch, I know I can always depend on him to help me with my computer problems

I was able to change the bios password and disable it, so now that doesn't pop up every time I boot, and I was able to change my windows password, now it's all back to normal


pkc -

Instead of making a new thread I'm just gonna ask this here.

My laptop does not want to start. I press the power button, it seems to be running, the power button light is on and laptop is 'humming'. But the screen is totally black.
It's been acting up for days, the screen would turn completely dark on me, as if it's going on hibernate while I'm already using it. So I would turn it off and restart it again and it would work.
But I haven't been able to turn it on since yesterday.

Anyone know what could be the problem?
I have a 1 year warranty on it so I will bring it to Future Shop for repair, but I would like to know if there is anything I could do first to make it work.

no. they probably need to replace the entire motherboard

What do you is wrong with it? What could have caused the damage?

I'm just concerned with how long it would take for them to repair it as I'm going on vacation in a couple of days and I would like to bring it with me.

I just hope they can do the repair at the store and not have to send it to the manufacturer. That would take forever. =/

You guys used to be so helpful with this type of thing... Please Haaaallp!!
