I have a toshiba satellite L505D-S5965 and dont know the bios password. All my homework says that the only way is to reset the jumper. My question is: Do I have to take everything apart to get to the

Reset/remove bios password.

    So I read the solutions posted and basically I am going to have to take apart the laptop to get to the CMOS battery. Thats what I was afraid of. The other solutions are the BIOS backdoor passwords which I already tried. Another solution is Hirens disk, which I have. The problem with that is that I can't boot anything up without first getting past the bios password. Uhhggg!!! Guess there's no easy way to do this but to take apart the laptop, which is harder to put back together than it is to take apart...lol

    Ok, got a new problem. I took out one of the memory cards to see if it would fit in another toshiba laptop i have. when I put it BACK in, the screen remains black and wont even bring up the bios password window. The laptop tries to power up then turns off. I rechecked the memory card and it is in there securely. What happened?

How to unlock toshiba satellite laptop BIOS and HDD

If you are the original owner Toshiba will reset the bios for a fee and it is not cheap, they may include the HDD reset, if not! www.ebay.com type password, or hard drive password. I would check bios password, probably a lot cheaper if you can find the right seller, also check www.download.com some software may be free.

Need to see location of cmos battery on a toshiba satellite l505d

It's soldered to the bottom of the motherboard,

http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L505-L505D/remove-laptop-motherboard-3.htm

Scroll down to Step 23 , and click on the photo.

Main article,

http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L505-L505D/remove-laptop-motherboard-1.htm

NOTE*
You will be unsoldering a solder connection on a BATTERY.
Need to be good, or the battery could bl-ow up.

Make SURE you have no Static on your body, OR use an ESD wrist strap, and connect the alligator clip to a Good ground source. (Average cost is around $3 to $6)

I hope this is because the laptop will not keep the time, and date.
You CANNOT reset a BIOS password this way.

Toshiba's have a small capacitor in line, that stores a small residual amount of power. Enough to keep that BIOS password set, even if the CMOS battery is taken out for days, weeks, or months.

There are two SMALL copper pads that are shorted out BRIEFLY, with a jumper wire.

Toshiba satellite l505d

unplug laptop and remove battery. Take out both memory sticks and locate on the motherboard under sticks two points marked with ***. Replace one memory stick, plug ac adapter back up and while jumping the two points at the *** (use paperclip, flathead screwdriver or other metal object to connect the points) power up computer. This, if done properly, will reset bios, removing password.
