If you've forgotten you BIOS password you can easy access the BIOS by reset the CMOS battery and jamper.
The BIOS password is
stored in CMOS memory that is maintained while the PC is powered off by
a small battery, which is attached to the motherboard. If you remove
this battery, all CMOS information (including the BIOS password) will
be lost. You will need to re-enter the correct CMOS setup information
to use the machine. The machines owner or user will most likely be
alarmed when it is discovered that the BIOS password has been deleted.
On some motherboards, the battery is soldered to the motherboard,
making it difficult to remove. If this is the case, you have another
alternative. Somewhere on the motherboard you should find a jumper that
will clear the BIOS password. If you have the motherboard
documentation, you will know where that jumper is.
If not, the jumper
may be labeled on the motherboard. If you are not fortunate enough for
either of these to be the case, you may be able to guess which jumper
is the correct jumper. This jumper is usually standing alone near the
battery. If you cannot locate this jumper, you might short both of the
points where the battery connects to the motherboard.
It is bios password.
Now if you forgot it then you have reset your bios settings.
For that you have to open back cover of laptop.
Then find motherbord pull CMOS cell from motherbord for 10 minutes then put again to it's position.
Then it not ask for password.
Let me know if you need more assistance.
Thanks.

You need to open the laptop and bridge a little contact on the motherboard, or remove motherboard battery temporarely. Here is lifebook service support from Fujitsu.

If you cannot do it yoursef it should be done in any service shop for a not-too-expensive charge.

BIOS Passwords Basic settings on your computer such as how many and what kinds of disk drives you have which one are enabled and which are disabled and which ones are used for booting are held in a CMOS chip on the mother board. A tiny battery keeps this chip always running so that whenever you turn your computer off, it still remembers its instructions. A common method of entering the BIOS is pressing the Del key at Bootup other common methods are Ctrl +Alt +Esc and Ctrl + Esc. Most computers have a BIOS which can be configured to ask for a password as soon as the computer is switched on. If the Ask Password option is enabled then as soon as the PC is switched on a Dialog box welcomes you and asks you for the password. You cannot override this and there is no way of disabling this because to enter the BIOS you need to know the BIOS password. So what do you do? Disable it. Now to Disable the BIOS password you need to enter the BIOS. But as soon as you enter the BIOS the BIOS asks for a password. Now the most common method of overriding this password prompt is by trying out the default BIOS passwords. Some common passwords are: Lkwpeter j262 AWARD_SW AWARD_PW Biostar Many BIOS also have their default password that can be tried. "j262" opens most versions of Award BIOS it works about 80% of the time. "AWARD_SW" and "AWARD_PW" work on some computers as well, but much less often. In some BIOS shift+s y x z also works. The best way to find out the default passwords of various BIOS is to search at http://astalavista.box.sk which is the best search engine for security related matter Well if the default passwords did not work them get ready for some serious Hacking stuff. Now as the default BIOS password did not work we will try to reset the BIOS to its default settings so that it asks for no password at all. So to do following: First you have to open the computer and then look for a round lithium battery, it probably looks like a silver coin. So remove the battery and after 30 seconds or so put it back. Some computers may also require you to reset the jumper, so look for a 3-pin jumper and reset it. For example, on most machines you will find a three-pin device with pins one and two jumpered. If you move the jumper to pins two and three and leave it there for over five seconds, it will reset the CMOS. When you boot the machine some BIOS may give an error saying that the BIOS was reset or tampered with, but that is not such a big problem

Hello,
you're out of luck, unless you're familiar with "shorting" the bios chip.
Of course, you can contact Toshiba for a workaround. Proof of ownership is necessary.
good luck
When you boot up to the log in
screen type in administrator as user if you cant log in
During the boot up process you
will see on the screen for a short amount of time a certain key to enter set up
