It was suggested to remove the battery. We have removed one battery looks like 3 watch batteries all together in green casing, is there still another battery or is this the only one? Thanks bresam11@bigpond.com

Remove the laptops battery and disconnect the power supply when you remove the BIOS battery.

- What did you do, are you still having problems? No reply, just poor rating?

- You will have to flash the BIOS to remove a BIOS password. Is that what you are doing? If so you must disconnect all power and laptop batteries, and then remove the CMOS battery for as long as 15 minutes (must be long enough for capacitors to discharge), then replace the battery and try again. Is this exactly what you have already done?

You just need to contact Toshiba and they'll give you a master restet password and then you can disable the password.
Rate if useful. Thank you.
