Cant Rid of HD password on startup.
Posted: Wed Jun 19, 2013 12:58 am
I enabled the Hard Drive password for testing, and it worked well. After that I enabled the Bios Password and no problem. I came to disable them and now still being prompted for a pass.
What I have under the security tab is this
Hardware Password Manager - Disabled
Supervisor Password - Enter
-Password Status - Enabled.
Lock UEFI Bios settings - Disabled
Set Max Length - Disabled
Password at unattended Boot - Disabled
Password at restart - Disabled
Power On Password - Enter
-Password Status - Disabled
Hard Disk1 Password - Enter
-Password Status - User + Master
I cant go to the password status for the supervisor password.
I know the password so thats not an issue and windows starts but what gives here that I keep getting prompted and how do I Disable the supervisor password, if it skips this option.
Also Iam not 100% sure if the password on startup is for the HD or something else. But I did activate all.
Appreciate your input.
Update - Solved
Just figured out to disable them you have to go into the correlating field and enter the current password while leaving the New Password field blank.
