V chip password reset

I recently purchased a t.v. and it was an off the shelf item and someone had set the v chip password. I've tried several passwords starting with the obvious and just making things up. The store I bought it from can't help me and the manufacturer will not help me because it was an open box item. Does anyone know a universal reset code that I can use to fix this problem? I would greatly appreciate anyone's advice on this issue. Thanks, Michelle

SOURCE: NEED TO UNBLOCK INSIGNIA TV - DON'T HAVE PASSWORD

The default password for this model is 1234. If you have never changed the password, it should still be the same. I hope this was helpful, best wishes.

I already have several items--phone,tablet, IPad, Kindle--hooked to router we purchased in March. Now I cannot connect new products.

They do get changed sometimes, you have have to get into the router or call the manufacturer of the product you are trying to log into, to reconfigure it.

Hi i've forgotten the password i set for my router about 18 months ago, so i can access wifi on my ipod touch, i've tried to reset and restore to factory settings using the button on the back,...

Hi,
Since you reset the router, the username and password were set back to its default values as well. For Netgear, the username and password is: Username = admin Password = password

I have a samsung who forgot pasword, how to reset the pasword

There's good news and bad news. The good news is that you might well have forgotten that the default password on the Samsung phone is 00000000 (that's eight zeroes). The bad news is that if you've changed it to something else and that's what you've forgotten, you might well need to take the phone in to a service center to have them help you break it back open.
First, here's what Samsung says about working with passwords on the Security
Use this menu to protect the phone against unauthorized use by managing the several access codes of your phone and SIM card.
Note: If you enter an incorrect PIN/PIN 2 three times in succession, the SIM card is blocked. To unblock it you need to enter your PUK/PUK2 (Personal Unblocking Key). The codes are supplied by your network operator.
PIN check
The 4-to-8-digit PIN (personal identification number) protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. When this feature is enabled, the phone requires your PIN each time it is switched on.
Change PIN
Use this menu to change your PIN. The PIN Check feature must be enabled to use this feature.
Phone Lock
The Phone Lock feature locks the phone from unauthorised use.
When this feature is enabled, you must enter a 4- to 8-digit phone password each time the phone is switched on.
The password is preset to 00000000. To change the password, use the Change Password menu.
Change Password
Use this menu to change your phone password. The password is preset to 00000000.
Privacy
Use this menu to lock your media contents, including MMS messages, emails, images, videos, music files and sounds:
1. Press [OK/i] to check the item(s) to lock.
2. Press Save to lock the marked items.
3. Enter the phone password and press OK.
To access a locked item, you need to enter the phone password.

If that doesn't help you, as I said, you'll need to take your phone to the local service center and ask them for help. Just a tip: bring some sort of proof of purchase or ownership so they can differentiate between you losing your password and someone else showing up with a stolen telephone.
Good luck!

Can anybody tell me the location and/or board identifier of the bios chip on the motherboard for this model. I'm trying to clear out a password (the start-up kind) for a friend of mine, but I've...

some motherboards do have a pin/plug which can remove passworcs i would need to name and model number of the board to find the specifications Power off the computer and make sure that it is unplugged

Open up your computer case. You need physical access to the motherboard to complete this procedure

Find a circular, (mostly) silver metallic object on the motherboard. This is the CMOS battery

CAREFULLY remove the CMOS battery, avoid touching it with your fingers, and leave it out for about 120 seconds. This will flush the CMOS memory which stores the BIOS password and all other configuration. (See Warnings)

Set the battery back into place and power on the computer

The computer should then warn you that the CMOS configuration could not be found. You can either reconfigure it yourself or restore defaults. Restoring the default configuration should be fine.

You will notice that the BIOS password has been cleared and you can boot without it. You may reset the BIOS password to something else by going into the BIOS configuration and setting a new User Password (The Supervisor Password controls access to the BIOS, NOT the computer!)

Hope this helps

IBM Thinkpad T-30 2366 QU-5 Padlock appears on scree. I cannot do anything. How is this unlocked? Please help.

You have a Power on Password. The correct password has to be entered before the laptop will bootup. The password is set to prevent unauthorized access to the laptop.
Did you purchase this laptop from someone? If so get the password from them. There is no backdoor password and the password is stored on an EEPROM chip so removing the BIOS battery will not reset the BIOS and remove the password.

My password is "wrong' whenever I try to connect on my laptop

That's firmware problem on your router. Try to download the latest firmware for you router from www.linksys.com/download then load the latest firmware. After successfully updated the firmware, you need to hard reset the router by pressing the reset button for 20 seconds then unplug the power for 10 seconds and plug it back in. You will need to reconfigure the wireless settings.

I need to overide a bios password

Hi,

due to fixyas terms and conditions, this information can not and should not be posted on the forums.
this is due to obvious legalities, of who the laptop actually belongs to ?
The person in charge or purchaser of the item, should have any relevant information to unlock any security passwords. Newer style laptops actually have security chips on board, which can only be unlocked or passwords provided by the legitimate owner of the item, or by contacting the manufacturer for an unlock password. i,d suggest that you contact your client for this information.

Thankyou for using fixya.

mike @ compurepair.
