If you did not set a password, first try by simply hitting enter (no words or characters in the box). If this does not work, restart the computer and press F11 or F12 to enter set up (only one or the other will bring you into setup). Once in setup, find where to set\change password. For "new" leave blank, and press enter. Delete anything that may be in this box. Do the same for the next box(es) for "re-enter" password; leaving the box blank and pressing enter. At the very end (right) of the screen, it should give a list of exit options (after selecting "reset" or "save" password; select "save changes and exit" option. The computer should restart automatically and bring you to either 1. The "blue" password screen, for which you will press enter. 2. The operating system Desktop, i.e. Windows etc. where all your icons and apps are displayed. If thus does not work, you need to reset the computer to its default (factory settings) which can be done following the same steps, and finding this option in the menus provided. I do not know what OS you have, but if it is Windows then the above is where to go.
Oh be care full here some systems will only allow you a certain trys at entering the password then they will just stop functioning.Try moving on without entering a password at all(blank box etc)' Good luck Davey Snake!!!
Try removing the keyboard and then looking for a silver colour battery lookalike . Just remove that . Wait for five seconds. Then put it back and login .
It sunds like you system BIOS is now password protected. Manufacturers often put in "backdoor" passwords which will work no matter what the user password is. In the case of a Toshiba computer, the backdoor password is Toshiba. Try that... if it works, go into your Bios and either disable the password protection OR change the password to something you desire.
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

It sounds like you might have a BIOS password on the computer. Taking it to a repair shop is the next step to get this looked at. Given the history of all of this stuff that happened, I would recommend one that knows what they are doing to help you out. There are a couple of shops here that I can recommend, but you may not be anywhere near here!
