Hello nic208, The problem is you have a BIOS level password installed. Laptop owners and computer departments sometimes install them in case the laptop is lost or stolen to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access.

Thanks first of all..but is there anyway to access or to remove it without entering the password? I know i didn't set any BIOS password. Should there be another way or even format it?
Thx alot tomj23 for your time. I've spent much time lately trying to find any possibilities. I've tried the masterpassword thingy, the key-disk password reset etc. All couldn't work. My Bios is by Phoenix tech, if it could help abit. Thx again.
i have the same problem only options that appear are f2 and f12. either option ends up to a password screen. i'm really frustrated that i can't get into my own laptop.. please help.
I took the battery out of my lap top, toshiba satelite A130/A135 Series and when I put it back in the lap top wanted a bios password.
I never had a bios password....
hello i seem to have the same problem but my friends laptop is a compaq presario M2000 laptop, and yes bought at pawn shop with no problems until 2 days ago. It turns on and a black screen appears and a blue box to type a password, 3 tries and it says system is disabled 00020. i asked my friend if she had added any type of passwords and she said no. I now have the laptop and it makes a wierd noise and i cannot find anything to fix this, tried esc, f10, taking the battery out, etc. Is this a virus? I just added antivirus and firewalled it last week when she got it,,,so fustrated if you can help thanks in advance..email me [email protected]
