I have a toshiba satellite X205-S9810 and i was wondering how to change the screen on it

if you mean to replace a screen i advise you have a specialist do it as many things could go wrong and by doing it yourself you have no protection from error, if a techie does it its his A$$ that replaces it if he messes up

Can I reset the HDD1 user password on Toshiba satellite?

If the password was set on the hard disk from the laptop that it was install on, then you can reset or remove the hard drive password using the BIOS configuration, you need to enter the existing hard drive password to this.
There are no back door paswords available, if you ca't remove the password then the drive is useless. This protection is use to prevent unauthorized access to data stored on the hard drive.

To get the laptop operational again you need to replace the hard drive and install Windows again.

You can reset it but most likely you will have to reload your operating system.

Entered built in HDD1 user password

Hello

as the bios was reset the harddrive password was removed from the bios memory.

To get the password unlocked you will need to remove the harddrive from the laptop, buy a adapter so you can connect it to your pc and then do a few things Il tell you about later if your going to do it.

otherwice you can take the harddrive to a shop to be unlocked / reset to defaults.

HDD password

It’s called ‘platter-locked’ and it cannot be easily bypassed or unlocked (the password is built into the hard drive).
If you do not need any information on the hard drive I would suggest buying a new 2.5” hard drive for laptops and install a new one (it will be cheaper).
