I have desoldered the cmos battery from my Toshiba Satellite L300 but am still getting blue password box on startup, any idea's???

The solution for your problem is to have the laptop sent (or taken) to a Toshiba Service Center to have the password reset or erased. You may have to show proof of ownership and you will certainly have to pay for the service if the computer is out of warranty. Desoldering the CMOS battery or any other component in all likelihood voids any warranty.

What i did when this happened to me was to locate the motherboard battery, removed it for about 30 secs and put it back in. Doing this will reset your bios.

Make sure to unplug the machine first before doing so.

Hope this helps!
