Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

;

I put portuguese commentaries at the end.

It has not extra encryption, just the partitions with different names.

If you put the DVD you created in your other , working machine, what does it show in it? A bunch of files and folders, or the name of your ISO file ?

Change the order in the Primary Boot Sequence so that the CD-ROM is listed as the first one. Then, try to boot to your DVD.

If you want to avoid license problems, use windows 7. No need to risk having difficulties for finding hardware drivers.

Portuguese mode - ON






Com o dvd que você criou, veja em outro micro quais arquivos aparecem. Se aparecem várias pastas e arquivos, ou se aparece o arquivo com o nome .ISO.
Se aparecerm várias pastas e arquivos :

No Lenovo, mude o Primary Boot Sequence para que o cd-rom aparece primeiro. Então, com o dvd que você criou no drive, tente iniciar a máquina. Para ter certeza se o dvd está bom, teste ele em outro computador, para ver se dá boot, ou teste com outro cd que você tenha certeza que é booteável nesse Lenovo.

Thanks RogFanther if you talking about ophracrack -SLAX;i opened it and there are a few folders and files in it, Isolinuxcfg is there too,
i can boot the cd and it runs data on black screen til a certain point where it
stops and say (FATAL ERROR OCURRED-DATA FOR LIVE CD NOT FOUND,
and then it asks if ,ARE YOU USING UNSUPPORTED SCSI?


And with the other program that i took the video from YouTube isoLinux it runs good per instructions but it wont reset the password it shows all the users passwords encrypted or locked and it says also

CANNOT FIND VALUE C/SAM/DOMAINS/ACOUNT/USERS/NAMES


I did change the drive, put in primary drive DVD drive,i can easily boot from these two soft wares.

ha; don't bother to write in Portuguese cause i understand better in english about the words as software and hardware as concern, cause i learned in english and I'm not familiar with Portuguese terms,i appreciate your effort though,my problem most the times is the understanding of the software and how to work with it in the PC ,not that i don't understand english,i know i,m not a good english writer so nor Portuguese for that matter,i do what i can with the skills i acquired.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

We overlapped posts, yes, you can try the crack tools.

Hi; WoodButcher i tried this free program,link bellow, i boot from the Cd follow instructions like it shows in the Youtube video, and did not work for me,
It say something like this (Can't find Sam Files)
i think this one has extra encryption, no wonder why i have to hit keyboard keys - CTRL-ALT-DELETE -before NAME and PASSWORD,I've never seen this way ,normally we do it to shutdown the PC.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

OK, that disc you burned should be your new copy of win7, it is no longer an ISO but bootable media. If you can get the bios to boot from cd/dvd you'll be set.

In the startup menu of the bios you need to switch this on, I don't know if it will be under "primary boot sequence" (should be)
"automatic boot sequence" (probably need to disable this)
"or error boot sequence" but once you get it swiched hit F10 to save and exit the bios. When you reboot it should open win7 install from the disc.

I'm not much savvy on PC software i do what i can for a person with 4 years in Portuguese primary school

LOL, neither am I, but I have toasted a few PC in my time!


What little I know has come the same way as you, get a problem,,, google it and ask for help. As for the school, you've got one up on me, "primary school" as you call it there I'm guessing we would call college,,, I didn't make it through grade school,,, and your bi-lingual at least. Don't sell yourself short!

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

The bios has no password set, leave that security page alone. It looks like you should be able to o a clean install if that is what you want.
Your first pic with the error, data integrity check failure, I'm guessing that is either corrupted data on the hard drive or a hard drive failure.
On the devices page I see the HD set in AHCI, thats odd for a mechanical hard drive. Was it upgraded to a SSD?

In any case I wouldn't hesitate to try the link I sent to you but first I would look to see if there is a "restore partition" on the drive as someone mentioned. Because XP was installed I'll bet they wiped the drive.
Contact the folks at lenovo customer support. I know they sell the discs you need if you can't do it any other way.

Hi WoodButcher You wre Wright when you've sad
(On the devices page I see the HD set in AHCI, thats odd for a mechanical hard drive. Was it upgraded to a SSD?

I changed it IDE and voila it started up to WinXP Logo and Password,
now you think that i can use the Linux Password cracker? is there any free one out there i can use please point me to it thanks in advance.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

Thanks WoodButcher for being so patent with me. i really appreciate it, I'm not much savvy on PC software i do what i can for a person with 4 years in Portuguese primary school, all i know i learned the hard way by googling and text talking with people like you that want to help,
now i went to that site you gave me i did download to a DVD
windows 7 -64 ISO i put it in the lenovo drive and powered it up and it doesn't even see it, but for what i red it seems to me you need the Administrator password to get in and then you can do it from inside windows, i may be mistaken,I'm not American I'm Portuguese and sometimes have difficulties to make sense of things,hope you understand.
it has just one Partition, it just won't boot up anymore,the other day i was able to take it to WinXP logo by changing stuff in the Bios set up but i forgot how i did it,but it's useless any way cause no password,
i guess the only solution and even that I'm not sure! is to get windows XP/Win7 install CD,there are a few Cheap offers on line but I'm afraid to get riped off,as they the cheapo gets expensive sometimes, they give you info but is very confusing,do have any link for a WinXP that is trustworthy? is any advice would be appreciated

Ha; you sad if it was it upgraded to a SSD? i have no clue of this?

I took this from other site i wonder if is this i have to do to install the win7ISO?

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

If you can get the passwords cracked that's great as it will insure you have all the drivers for your hardware but to re-install windows is no biggie. You have a legal key, I have many times needed to call Microsoft because of registration key failures. I'm unsure of the code written into the software, be it a counter of installs or hardware detection but I can tell you that after a phone call I have never been denied. Your email addy and personal info are moot. You were given this machine with a valid license key which is meant to be attached to the machine.
At one time you would call and get a human but the last two times I was connected to a bot that gave me a new key to type in and was good to go. When doing this you will not have the MS police knocking at your door and to say the least even if there were such a thing, you're legal.

The only issue I see that may be a problem, or not, would be a bios password. If you need to change the boot order you must be able to enter the bios.

Thanks WoodButcher; i appreciate your interest on my issue,
Ok i was able to get in the Bios set up after doing the battery and jumper trick and send some pics of where i'm at;i get to enter Bios set up now by pressing F2 if i press f1 it won't boot up to windows i can see the window logo for a second but it goes back Pic on attachment CSC01566,
is there anything that you want me to try to change on the Bios set up that will make it reboot.I think it has to do with tempering with the security set up, thanks in advance.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

No you don´t need. One can, if one wants, but it is not necessary.

From your questions, I understand you are insecure, but not need to.
Use the linux cd. Reset the admin password on the machine to blank.
Then login in windows. If it is the orignal installation from Lenovo, it will probably have the Lenovo restoration software. With that you can restore the machine to factory settings, including the option to define name / owner, and be rid of software or files installed by the last owner.

Or you can just buy a retail cd of windows 7, which will come with a new key, and install .it

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

What they say is reasonably true. Not all the truth, and not the true truth, but workable.
But the bios password can be resetted / discovered, and also for the hard disk. Even easier if one just want to clean the hard disk and not need to save files from it.

Is the guy who "worked for Lenovo" the one who gave you the computer ? Then clearly ask him for the bios password, and explain that you could not change the boot order to boot from cd. Maybe he remembers the password.

If he doesn´t remember or doesn´t want to tell, post the pics of what appear immediately after you press F12 in that picture you posted in the beginning of the thread.

The guy that sais he works at IBM, i don't know him i just took that from a forum that i'm not a member of, just red that thread from googling about the matter,and i thought to bring it for the discussion don't have a clue if is true or not.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

I don't think anything's gonna work for cracking password on bios utility
read this and correct me if i'm wrong!thanks in advance.

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/deta...cID=MIGR-59377

Also this guy worked for IBM with Lenovo computers and;


I work for IBM Global Technology Services. They provide us with IBM/Lenovo laptops. Our security policy states we must have a power on password set in our bios. You can't get to the bios to change to boot to another device (USB) without first knowing the power on password. If you could get to the bios to change the boot order, you couldn't boot to any device without knowing the power on password. Our security policy also requires we have a hard drive password. This password is asked for at power up. If you don't know it, you can't get to the hard drive. That means that even if you could power it up, and boot it from USB, you couldn't mount the drive if you don't know the hard drive password. There is no way around this. I know this because when we return our old computers, and we forget to remove these hard drives, they call us to get them. If we don't remember them, the laptop and the hard drive are toast. Even as the company that manufactures the machine (back when IBM did that), we couldn't remove the power on or hard drive passwords. So, while your method will work on a machine not protected with a power on password or a hard drive password, it will NOT work on

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

It is not a common linux cd. Ubuntu or Knopix were suggested for *installation*, in case you didn´t want to use windows.

For resetting the password, you need the chntpw iso image ( see the start of the thread ). You can find it easily from google.

Also, you need to burn the iso to a blank cd as an image, not as a file. That is, if after you put the cd in the drive, in other machines, you will NOT see the .ISO file, but a bunch of other files that were contained in the .iso.

When you turn on the machine, doesn´t it show at the bottom of the screen the keys to use to enter bios or to change boot order ? Use that for changing boot order to ensure the machine is trying to boot from cd. It it doesn´t show which key, you can look at the manual in the Lenovo site.

Hi guys; i don't think that's that easy to activate the window key for what i read here!

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...-this-computer

Hi, I've forgotten that when you install for the first time out of the box you have to register the key on your PC than you have to give name e-mail address and so on.
now i have to give a different name different e-mail address, i don't think that they fall for it,sorry if i'm mistaken.
