Password - turn off

Asked by swoggy in Security Utilities

Tags: MS, XP, Media Centre

My problem is with a Toshiba P100-429, having just recently started using the main passwords that are available between switching on the machine and the boot process. I'd never activated these passwords previously being the only one with access to it, but having to send it away for servicing thought I'd protect my info.

Trying to keep this short and to the point - After switching on, pressing F2 and going to the security tab in the BIOS  I activated the Passwords. Now I no longer need them I returned to BIOS but are now only given option to change Passwords but nothing to de-activate it.

Can someone with the same model or sufficient knowledge help me. I long for the day when I could switch on and everything would go through to log-on without interruption.Thanks.Start Free Trial
