You should be able to disassemble the back of the laptop make sure there isn't a battery or any power going to it of course locate the cos battery and remove it for about 20 seconds and reinsert it. Thus should clear the bios and it's password. If this doesn't work please let me know.
I always use a bios password. Can you access your bios (also called CMOS) I am sure there is a bios reset (usually a jumper you install over two metal prongs on the motherboard) or other method to reset your bios to factory.
Please be more descriptive with your problems...
To remove a BIOS password you will need to unplug your laptop and take out the laptop battery. Then you will need to locate your CMOS battery and remove it for 15 seconds and place it back in. It will look highly similar to a watch battery.
I'am sorry to say it cannot be reset, you need to know the bios password or pay to have it resolved. If you are the original owner Toshiba will reset it for a fee, $100.00 or go to www.ebay.com Type: bios password I suggest you choose a seller that deals in Toshiba laptops for a better chance of success.
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.
You can put a Power On Password of your Toshiba, this will prevent unauthorized access to youe laptop. If you forget this password then you will have problems unlocking your Toshiba. The Power on Password is configured in the BIOS under sercuity settings. You can also put a password on the hard drive and if your Toshiba is stolen and they remove the hard drive out of your Toshiba into another laptop they cannot get access to the data on your hard drive. NOTE if you forget the hard disk password you will not be able to access your hard disk.
if you want to clear your bios password you can remove your cmos battery, it means you need to open your notebook cover, after open your notebook cover and found the battery release it for about 5 minutes and then put it on again and turn on the notebook.
Well, opening the computer and removing the clock battery till the capacitor dies out should work, but for a laptop, its difficult to do so if you dont have any experience disassembling it.
To reset the BIOS read the information from this link. Although article is about removing BIOS password the second, third and fourth methods pretty much will bring the BIOS to initial factory settings.
I would suggest getting Hiren's Boot CD and use Kill CMOS to wipe the BIOS to the factory settings.
