There are two ways. One is to type the old one in (yup I know if you had that you would have already) or take it to a tech with proof of ownership. The override or reset is a trade secret kind of thing as the password is considered part of the anti theft stuff so you need to prove it belongs to you so the shop can't be accused of handling stolen goods. Real pain in the **** for you but unfortunately thats the way this gets handled. Unless the shop is certified with Toshiba or the tech has enough experience they won't be able to reset it for you.The actual reset depnds on the bios version and only takes a few minutes so they may not charge if it is a Toshiba shop.
To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.
In case of your laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper.
when makes changes on memory ...always reinstall .and first go to bios and restore factory defaults ...optimal factory defaults ... this will do to recognize the new modules ...and installing will aware the system about the changes..
I presume this is the CMOS or BIOS password. Turn the unit over and find the ram cover, remove the ram locate the two brass bars near where the ram was. Take a paper clip and bridge them to short out and reset bios password.
replace ram and turn on

If your device is asking for a bios password then that means that someone has previously entered a bios password for the device. You need to access the cmos battery.....disconnect it.....then reconnect it...this will allow the password to leave the bios memory....DO ALL THIS WITH THE DEVICE OFF...
