All you have to do is put your cmos jumper switch in the pwd reset or clear pwd position and that will reset the password. You can also download a programme from the web that will find your cmos password. Try googling "find cmos password". Hope this helps.
The windows logon?? or the toshiba startup password?? If its the toshiba black screen start up password that is embedded in bios and no amount of removing battery or resetting bios will help,its a tosh security feature only service depts can read and reset the password,its expensive. The windows logon can be got using a linux disc just search for xp password reset.
I am not shure if this will help but none of the regular tools (printer port key,remove cmos battery,cmos password tools "it wont get to the point to run those") worked for me. so I found the service manual and it describes a floppy "diagnostic"/"setup" tool that you need to press "u" before starting and during startup of the laptop. in the setup screen of the tool it will show and allow you change the password now I just need to find that tool this was for a A45-S151 P4 3.3ghz laptop the only other option was to flash a bios chip and replace the old chip with the new chip as thats where the password is stored
Hi chevy Where did you find the service manual ? I too have this problem with an older Toshiba Satellite A135. Goggling reveals it is a known bug in these older Toshiba bios but mine is out of warranty and I'd rather not pay Toshiba to fix a problem with their own product. Apparently it can be fixed by them so surely the method must be " out there somewhere LOL" Cheers bAZZ
I have a similar problem with a Toshiba Tecra A6-EZ6311. Asking for BIOS password even though this model was not included in the ones with the factory defect. If you find a solution can you email me solution. My profile name here is COMANDOED. Thanks
