I have a laptop toshiba satellite a30 and I can't recover one or two programs because of a password problem... I would like to know if anyone knows the password for the recovery disks using powerquest image drive... Or someway to crack it... I would apreciate it if anyone could help me on this... thanks | ||

TOSHIBA RECOVERY CD PASSWORD ALL MODELS (GHOST IMAGE, PASSWORD PROTECTED) Password crack is really simple. Instead of doing all sorts of programming/cracking stuff, just use social engineering. Password would have to be easy to know and self documenting for tosh techs to work with. Anyway look on the CD in the same folder as the tosh ghost image. They have a CRC file, mine is called PREINST.CRC. Ghost image password is the first four digits of the CRC as found in that file. I assume that this will work for all models. No programming required. | ||

no man the password ins't it, my crc show 11822784 and the 1182 isn't the password, it's wrong you don't have other ??? | ||

try the last four digits of the CRC - on my Satellite 1400-series, the CRC is 862142513, the password for the Ghost image was 2513 | ||

Mine isnt either the first or last four digits | ||

Neither the first four or the last four CRC digits work for the Portege M200 tablet PC recovery DVD (p/n: TK137/CL1734-2.) Several other combinations I've tried don't work either. Finally got this machine booted into Win98SE DOS mode from a Win2K RIS server over the network. After attaching to the DVD on the server, I was disappointed to see the password prompt for the image file from my licensed copy of GHOST Corporate 7.5. [Toshiba's version of GHOST 7.5.1 on the DVD isn't the full product and does NOT support network attached drives.] That's a problem as these machines do not have a floppy, CD, or DVD, and will not boot from a USB thumb drive such as the NexDisk products Microsoft uses. The BIOS also has no provision for doing a PXE boot over the wireless NIC. One has to use the on-board Intel PRO/100 VE wired connection - no choice. Frustrated in Colorado. I have a over a dozen of these brand new machines to reload for the local school district because they arrived with an unknown machine Administrator password already set. They did not go through mini-setup when unboxed and the customer's IT staff is ticked off as registration for K-12 students starts tomorrow and they can't use these machines. | ||

Got a Toshiba A25 and fought this enough, here's how to do it without a passowrd: Created a basic boot disk to get into dos with a CD-Rom driver, then ran all the bat files MINUS os.bat, this changed all drive letters and created some extras... then went and grabbed the cmd to call tghost... : q:\BASE\TGHOST -clone,mode=pload,src=q:\BASE\PREINST.GHO:1,dst=1:1 -afile=P:\GHOSTERR.TXT -fni -auto -sure So essentially I ran all .bat sripts manually in order listed in the os.bat file: [CALL D:\BASE\PREDATA.BAT] [SET TGHOSTPS=%FILENAME%] [cls] then I ran [q:\BASE\TGHOST -clone,mode=pload,src=q:\BASE\PREINST.GHO:1,dst=1:1 -afile=P:\GHOSTERR.TXT -fni -auto -sure] and it started ghost, and is running ... note: it hasn't finished YET so I don't know if it works, but after all the searching I did and noting this site had the best info, I though it would be greatful to leave the info behind... feel free to email me with any questions, and I'll post more if this DID NOT work  PS: the guys at Toshiba assured me multicast was possible with the image on the DVD, after the Tech support assured me there was NO password I am concerned about Toshiba getting another Corporate account! | ||

To "frustrated in Colorado", you don't need to reload windows just to change the administrator password - there are several Linux based tools out there which will reset the administrator password file on Windows 2K or XP. Just search Google for "lost administrator password". Of course you will have to be able to boot from a CD ROM drive - I would pull the hard drive to do the fix but for a dozen machines you might be able to devise a network boot procedure. | ||

Actually this is not the admin password for the OS or the BIOS, but the Image that is on the Recovery DVD given out by Toshiba.... I've used many different linux tools to recover admin passwords and agree they are awsome! Just wish the problem was that easy! -coleman | ||

Alright, just got another Toshiba to deal with and now I KNOW this works with most of the recent latest models of TOshiba's, thanks to somone (can't remember but from this site) that created and hacked most of it... Here's what to do to AVOID the password prompt OR the (wrong machine) message when recovering to the original TOSHIBA image: 1. Copy ALL .bat files from the bin directory (CMOS.bat, Editme.bat, Ghost.exe, index.txt, os.bat, predata.dat, tghost.exe) onto a BOOTABLE CD Rom (with Win98se.img) file to load (google it to find it), but shouldn't need it on the disk itself. 2. Boot the PC to THAT CD, then after you get to the fail screen and it's on A:>, pop in the TOSHIBA provided DVD, then select D: (or %CDDRV%). 3. Once you have the cd drive, start running ALL .bat files, they should be in order below... 4. Run: CALL D:\BASE\PREDATA.BAT 5. Run: SET TGHOSTPS=%FILENAME% 6. Run: cls 7. Run: q:\BASE\TGHOST -clone,mode=pload,src=q:\BASE\PREINST.GHO:1,dst=1:1 -afile=P:\GHOSTERR.TXT -fni -auto -sure (OR run whatever is listed LIKE this in the os.bat file for YOUR recovery disk, and you may have to change the P:\ location to an existing loaction) Thus you should have a Toshiba branded ghost screen copying the image from DVD drive to local Disk Any questions feel free to ask, and remember NEVER to buy TOSHIBA!! -coleman | ||

I searched a while for the password too. Then, on a whim, I ran the os.bat file found on Disk 1 in the \base directory (I booted up with a Win98 boot disk first). Ran perfect and my laptop is like new... Give it a try | ||

I need to find the password to the ghost image for a satellite 1955 series (TK119/CLI508-A1). I have tried looking at the .crc file but that doesn't work and I'm running out of options. I need to find a way to restore my hard drive from the ghost image disks. That's about all my laptop can handle before it overheats and shuts down. I was able to figure out the password about a year ago, but I have forgotten it. Any help appreciated. | ||

I didnt have a copy of XP home lying around to slap on a spare computer, so I decided to use the one that came with my Toshiba laptop. It obviously bitched about not being on the correct computer. So here is the retardly easy way to bypass the "protection" for the recovery discs that still use this lame method. In your predata.bat file there are two variables which are the base of the password calculation that tghost.exe uses. These are specific to my CD, yours will be different. SET SWN=SQ003432 SET EXT=A83 SET FILENAME=%SWN%.%EXT% If you look at this, predata.bat makes the FILENAME variable = SQ00343.A83 Now what? In the OS.bat (the one that starts ghost) it sets a variable TGHOSTPS=FILENAME So basically TGHOSTPS=SQ00343.A83 if you are running the recovery CD on the right laptop. And if your not? Then manually set the variable yourself and run OS.bat to get ghost to receive the correct password to proceed. Have fun. -Brooklyn | ||

TOSHIBA TE2100---ghost without password The provided recovery 4 CDs will remove all partitions and remove all the data on each partitions. Quite often we only want to reinstall the XP on C: disk. We can avoid this by doing "ghost" manually. 1) use one bootable CD to enter DOS first, then take out the bootable CD. 2) insert the CD-1, in \base, type "tghost" to enter the graphic interface, then proceed by recovering from the PREINST.GHO, source-> PREINST.GHO target-> c: 3) when you are prompted to "insert next CD" for the first time, insert CD-2 for "PREIN001.GHS" 4)when prompted to "insert next CD" for the second time, just press enter, for the required "PREIN002.GHS" file is still on CD-2 Tips: "tghost" is a TOSHIBA specified ghost, by using this, we can bypass the password which is otherwise required by using a normal version of ghost XI | ||

Modification to 2nd step of "TOSHIBA TE2100---ghost without password" 2) insert the CD-1, in directory \base, 2.1 type "predata" 2.2 type "set tghost=%filename" 2.3 type "tghost" to enter the graphic interface, then proceed by recovering from the PREINST.GHO, source-> PREINST.GHO target-> c: these steps just coming from "os.dat" | ||

2.1 type "predata" 2.2 type "set tghostps=%filename" 2.3 type "tghost" | ||
