Why this laptop has a PASSWORD to change configuration in the BIOS?? It's no mine?? Do you have this password??? I need it in order to update my BIOS

This is probably a laptop that has been briefly used and then returned, repackaged, and sold as new. That's the only thing I can think of. Otherwise, I have had one of these for about a year, it works great and has not given me any problems so far.

Thanks, did you mean the F1 function key? I think I got to the ROM bios using F1, but I'll try F12 as well. Also, I was able to install an application I had on a CD by first copying everything from the CD to a USB thumb drive, and then simply clicking on the setup icon on the thumb drive. Cool! Thanks again!

I'm 99% sure that it needs a bios update to run it. Its super easy to do though, just follow the instructions in the manual.

I'm not a mac guy but in a windows setup the bios needed to get configured before the os could see the card and hard drive. I'm sure macs are similiar in that the bios needs setup first before the os can see it.

I also installed this memory in 2 different D620 laptops and I didn't have to do anything in the Bios. the memory was just recognized and worked great. maybe you got a bad one or something else (like the keyboard cable) got disconnected when you installed it? Good luck John!

You need to flash the bios, you'll need another computer to get the new bios onto a flash drive.

The bios version that came with mine didn't support my processor (i7 4820k) all I did was load the latest bios on to a USB and follow the instructions and in less than 10 minutes it was up and running. The instructions for updating the bios are very simple, you don't need to install anything to update the bios, all you need to do is have to motherboard connected to the power source.

Sorry, I never tried booting from it. It may depend on whether or not your BIOS sees it when it boots. I highly doubt you can do anything with this card before the OS loads.

You cannot, you will need to get a processor from somewhere else that can boot the board, do the update, then use the new APU. There is no way to boot the bios without a processor.

I purchased this laptop and was given the password with the computer. Try "password" or "admin"

Goggle is your friend in this question , The mother board manual is online and on PG. 56 they suggest the configuration jumper block. place the jumper on pins 2-3 and reboot. That will let you configure the passwords, then turn off replace the jumper on pins 1-2 and restart. but really keep the manual close to the computer, I still have mine after 3 years.

It is recommended to download the latest BIOS, and latest Drivers. It works for me, but flash the BIOS !

In all honesty - IDK. I bought mine for my daughter. For whatever reason my husband set-up a password and of course - they forgot it!! Becasue there is no internal hard drive there is no way to unlock it - I took it to a professional, so now the device is useless. Good luck!!

I have not checked since I have no requirement to modify the BIOS. You can probably have more luck going through thinkpad user groups.

I updated to latest bios using the usb flash bios feature. Followed instructions in the manual. It was easy and worked great!

Asus makes a tool that you can update the bios with. You can download BIOS updates and drivers from http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P8B75MCSM/HelpDesk_Download/

You may not have to even worry about the bios. I upgraded from an AMD A6 to this cpu and didn't have to change bios at all. Once I had the cpu installed and the cpu fan connected. ( make sure of this) The CPU set itself up. All I did was turn on the laptop, let it go threw start up, which took a few more seconds than normal. Once windows came up that was it. It is still a good idea to go in and check system processor to make sure it says AMD A10-4600m
