How do i fix this problem i dont have the password..
You don't realize this, but the problem you are running up against, is that Toshiba has the best security in the business. If you had stolen someone's laptop, and you needed to bypass a BIOS password in order to make the stolen laptop usable, would and SHOULD it really be as simple as you are making it out to be? No. It should not. Now, do you know what Toshiba will do next? Toshiba will ONLY send the laptop back to the current registered owner. THEY have to transfer the ownership to you... you can't do that. THEN, you can send it back to Toshiba to have the BIOS password cleared. THEN Toshiba will send it back, repaired, to you. So you cannot even remove the CMOS battery to clear the password. You cannot use a special program and a floppy disc, because that Toshiba will not access the floppy disc before it accesses the BIOS... and since you will hit the password first, you can't access that software to try to clear the password or you might try restart your computer repeatedly tapping the f8 key to enter safe mode while the screen is black once in safe mode where the only things working will be your keyboard and mouse allowing you to attempt to repair your computer Reboot the computer As the computer is booting repeatadly press the F8 key as the computer is booting If done properly the user should get to a screen similar to the below screen.

Toshiba has been leading the pack in this kind of security for years now. The only way to reset the BIOS password on THAT laptop, is to send it back to Toshiba.
So, here is what you do. If the previous owner registered their laptop with Toshiba,
You cannot jump the BIOS chip, since the password is not stored there, but rather it is stored in an EPROM chip that does not require electricity.
Please select an option:
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable VGA mode
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
Debugging Mode
Reboot
Return to OS Choices Menu
DEBUG
and hit Enter. You'll see a dash (-) at the DEBUG prompt. Now type:
o 70 2e
which will show as -o 70 2e at the DEBUG prompt. Hit Enter. Then type:
o 71 ff
and hit Enter. Finally type:
Q
and hit Enter one last time to quit DEBUG back to the C:\> prompt.
Now you're ready to reboot your PC, and press the appropriate key or key
combo (look it up in your motherboard manual if you don't know it) to access
your BIOS Setup.
you will get a - prompt where you can type the following (<enter> means press enter, not type enter*)
A <ENTER>
MOV AX,0 <ENTER>
MOV AX,CX <ENTER>
OUT 70,AL <ENTER>
MOV AX,0 <ENTER>
OUT 71,AL <ENTER>
INC CX <ENTER>
CMP CX,100 <ENTER>
JB 103 <ENTER>
INT 20 <ENTER>
<ENTER> just hit enter on this line
G <ENTER>
Q <ENTER>
Basic BIOS password works 9.9 times out of ten
Hope this helps.
If you had stolen someone's laptop, and you needed to bypass a BIOS password in order to make the stolen laptop usable, would and SHOULD it really be as simple as you are making it out to be? No. It should not. What are you trying to say ??? This a clients laptop lighting hit the house.He had the computer plug in charging when he turned it on it was locked.
What i am saying is if the bios password cant be bypassed or removed he will need to take it to his local Toshiba computer outlet to have the bios password reset then it will be sent to the Authorised Receipt Owner
No bypass.I bypassed it in 10 mins
well done now what else can i help you with
I am good for now.But i soon going to set up a Folding Home Super Computer.If i bump into any problems i ll look you up.
No problems hope it all goes well

Restart your computer repeatedly tapping the f8 key to enter safe mode while the screen is black once in safe mode where the only things working will be your keyboard and mouse allowing you to attempt to repair your computer
As the computer is booting repeatadly press the F8 key as the computer is booting
If done properly the user should get to a screen similar to the below screen.
Select the option for Safe mode command prompt only

which will show as -o 70 2e at the DEBUG prompt. Hit Enter. Then type:
o 71 ff
and hit Enter.
Finally type:
Quit
and hit Enter one last time to quit DEBUG back to the C:\> prompt.
Now you're ready to reboot your PC, and press the appropriate key or key
combo (look it up in your motherboard manual if you don't know it) to access
your BIOS Setup.
Youll notice the password is gone.
If this fails try typing
At command prompt type debug
you will get a - prompt where you can type the following (<enter> means press enter, not type enter*)
A <ENTER>
MOV AX,0 <ENTER>
MOV AX,CX <ENTER>
OUT 70,AL <ENTER>

INC CX <ENTER>
CMP CX,100 <ENTER>
JB 103 <ENTER>
INT 20 <ENTER>
<ENTER> just hit enter on this line
G <ENTER>
Q <ENTER>
If this fails you will need to
Select safe mode with networking to download
you could download all of these or just one save them to a usb drive for later use if one fails to remove the password
