Ok you are kind of in trouble that password can NOT be reset...so try the passwords that were recommeded above and then try and think if you have any passwords any where else on your computer and try those if not you will have to take it somewhere to have it completely reset and lose all your data....good luck!

If it's an older Toshiba, you can build a device from an old parallel printer cable. You connect certain pins to certain other pins (like connect 1 to 13, connect 2 to 7 and 10, etc...), plug it into the parallel port and boot up and it will allow you to get into the BIOS and reset the password. From what I remember, when you're in the BIOS, you have to set another password (make it simple like 1234) and the device lets you do this w/o asking for the current unknown password. You then save the changes to BIOS, shut down, remove the parallel cable thingy, reboot, enter the BIOS again, and remove the password you just created (like 1234). The parallel device has a catchy name like a 'boot blocker' or maybe 'BIOS booter' or something. They sell 'em pre-made on EBay but they only work on fairly old Toshiba's. I've only done this once about 4 or 5 years ago; it worked great when this guy's 5 year old go into the BIOS and BS'd his way into setting a password. We were all pretty stoked when this bootlegged printer cable let us reset the password!!! Anyway, I'm rambling... if it's an older Toshiba, look into it on Google or something. You can also get USB devices that do the same thing for newer Toshiba laptops, but they're not cheap; over $100 .... Just Google 'remove Toshiba password' or maybe 'reset {model number of laptop} password' or something. I dunno.... usually, these power on passwords cannot be removed by taking out the CMOS battery, so unless she remembers, or you pay a service or buy a device, you're probably out of luck

Here is some stuff I found on the net: Some Toshiba laptop systems will bypass the BIOS password if the left shift key is held down during boot. Try using Toshiba or toshiba as the cmos password. (cmos passwords can be case sensitive) and this: ToneToshiba Notebook BIOS password backdoor 1 Here's some other helpful links: http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-bios-password.shtml http://www.freelabs.com/~whitis/security/backdoor.html http://www.pwcrack.com/bios.shtml Good luck!

BiOS password lockout....forgot password......now the screen shows :

taking out the RTC for a weeks without the battery, reset the cmos, and downgrading and upgrading bios version did not work.
