Toshiba Portege 2000 PC Notebook asking password when power on how to solve

Open CPU Cabinet's case and look for button cell of coin size on the main motherboard(circuit board) and push the pin with holding the button cell, the cell will come out. This will power off the BIOS memory and the BIOS will reset.

Hello,

The only solution is to take the computer to a Toshiba Authorized Service Center to have the password reset. If you have registered ownership of the computer with Toshiba they will be able to help you for a fee.

Hope it helps.

remove battery (used to maintain power to the PROM chip that contains the Bios/CMOS information) from the motherboard. will solve ur problem

Are you able to get in in Safe mode (F8 on boot) , maybe try Administrator with no password. Then you could reset your admin password.

its some hard to do but maybe you can

. Your notebook
2. An empty formatted diskette (720 kb or 1,44 mb)
3. A second computer (e.g. a DOS desktop PC)
4. A hex-editor (e.g. Norton DiskEdit or HexWorks)

This is what you have to do:

1. Start the desktop PC and start the hex-editor
2. Put the disk in drive A:
3. Change the first five bytes of sector 2 (boot sector is sector 1) to: 4B 45 59 00 00
4. Save it! Now you have a KEYDISK
5. Remove the disk from drive A:
6. Put the disk in the notebook drive
7. Start the notebook in Boot Mode (push the reset button)
8. Press Enter when asked for Password:
9. You will be asked to Set Password again. Press Y and Enter.
10. You now see the BIOS configuration where you can set a new password

you will need a dongle that plugs into your parralel port that will allow you to reset the bios password

you can find diagrams on the net of how to create a dongle for the password reset and the plugs are available from any good electronics supplies store
