So this is asking for a password at boot up?? Sounds like the Admin/System password is enabled.

Try this:

  1. As the computer is booting press F1, F2, or Del to enter CMOS setup.
  2. In CMOS setup when prompted for a password, guess three times until you're giving the code. If after entering the wrong password three times the computer is displaying a 5 to 8 code, as shown in the picture, continue to the next step.
  3. Write down the code and visit Dogbert's BIOS Password Backdoors scripts page to download Python and the free Python scripts to clear many of these types of passwords.

SOURCE: power on password for toshiba satellite m30-107

You can by shorting the CMOS/BIOS battery connector for 30 sec's with a resister pack (2.4 KOhms), but if you don't have any PC repair experience, don't try it!

"You can blow the motherboard if you get it wrong.."

I suggest you take it to a Toshiba repair shop, it will cost about $100 to have them do it for you.

SOURCE: Don't know BIOS Password

take off the cover over the memory
remove memory modules
remove black sticker
re insert 1 memory module into the slot closest to the motherboard
next to the module are 2 pads you can bridge with a flat blade driver
the pads says (xxx) next to them
with the pins bridged turn on the power and youll get an error that will require you to press f1. do so. done

Yes of course all Laptop and Desktop have CMOS battery. Screw the back cover of your laptop locate the CMOS battery and remove to clear the BIOS password. Or else you can reset the CMOS by removing the jamper.

Cant log in to computer.dont know password. bought at auction

Lost Windows password:


  • Login as Administrator. Try with no password (load safe mode if you don't see Administrator). Press F8 during boot to access Safe Mode. XP only.
  • Login as other user (if other user is available) and manage users. Must be an administrator.
  • Reformat computer.
  • Use 3rd party software to remove password. Like http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html
  • Free software option would be Hirens Boot CD. This one is command prompt only. http://www.hirensbootcd.org/ Must follow instruction exactly.

I HAVE A TOSHIBA SATELLITE L355 S7831 AND I FORGOT MY PASSWORD TO START THE BOOT OF THE COMPUTER AND IT GIVES ME 3 GUESS' AND THEN SHUTS OFF??? WHAT ITS ASKING FOR IS A CURRENT PASSWORD?

Hello,

When you installed the system, you entered a BIOS password.
There is nothing you can do to bypass that password. The only solution is to take laptop to Toshiba Certified Service Center to have password disabled.

Hope it helps
