if not login screen for windows seen that means its a BIOS PASSword. not good that.
first ones run XP, do you still run this? old virus magnet OS?

JAN 2018 post. answer above forgets the owner has no PW.
wow. that said that clearly to me above;
that PC has rechargeable battery deep inside. (oddly)
the above poster only fixes Change PW never LOST PW.
ok?

Lost PW or dead battery fixes.
this pc , turn it on, and let it charge the RTC battery deep inside,
Thoshiba is the only PC that does this Ni-Mh battery deal.
and only charges turned on.
after charging this battery below
turn PC off then on the see if the PC asks for BIOS admin Password, if yes post back or read my 2 other A8 posts here
with the 12 steps to clear this PW. ok,
if the NVRAM scrambles (as all do A8 if parked in shelf for say a year) then the NVRAM scrambles and now the PW is lost.
so it ask for PW, if you
power on and hammer the F1 key, BIOS may POP to 1st screen
then hit BIOS reset key for, return to default settings.
then exist and save.


proof

the USA A8 manual quote, read that carefully !
that last line above, is OMG , really? and is true.... must be left on for say 24hours, 1hr min, I guess.
also the battery this old will be bad, In most cases,
sorry never seen a 12 year old Ni-Mh any good anywhere.

These passwords are typically used for testing and maintenance. Manufacturers typically change the backdoor BIOS passwords from time to time.

PASSWORD I DON'T NO ([email protected])

The BIOS password is removed by the BIOS configuration, you need the BIOS password to get into the BIOS configuration.But if you do not have the BIOS password then you need to construct this dongle device.
TOSHIBA BIOS PASSWORD DONGLE
You can build a dongle that plugs into the printer port.Purchase a 25 pin male D sub connector and solder insulated wires to the various pins as listed below. The pins are numbered on the connector
http://www.tilman.de/sonstiges/toshiba/dongle1.jpg this is a picture of the finished dongle


Wire the pins as follows :-1-5-10, 2-11, 3-17, 4-12, 6-16, 7-13, 8-14, 9-15
Plug the finished dongle in the printer port and power up the laptop. The password will be reset, go into the BIOS configuration to check the BIOS password, you may have to disable the BIOS password.

Good day to you.
I have a toshiba Laptop with Bios Password problem. I cannot start my system anymore, cos the laptop is requesting for Bios password which I dont know or have.
