On boot up it displays and asks for a password on Laptop

You can remove or change the Window's User or administrator's password. You need access to a computer with Internet access to download the Hiren's Boot CD and burn it onto a CD. Then insert this CD into the laptop/computer and boot up the laptop/computer with the Hiren's CD and follow the instructions. There are very useful utilities CD and it a Linux boot CD which contains quite a lot of Utility programs including a password removal program. Click on one of these links to download HIREN'S BOOTCD :- http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ http://67.20.82.163/

Download the "hiren boot cd" (easy to find on google) burn it on another machine, then boot you machine via the new cd, then there is a tool to reset useraccount password
the is how

try to boot to windows xp or dos command, for winXP go to recovery console-select your windows-type the admin password then if C:\WINDOWS come up type chkdsk /r if that doesnt help, repair your operating system or backup your files and reinstall your operating system.

ok hold f8 when you boot it and go to safe mode then you can just change the password or set up a new user account and make your own password

Hi,
If you are prompted for a password just after boot up and are unable to provide the correct password there is not much you can do about it. After 3 wrong trials the laptop will lock. The only solution to regain control of your(?) laptop is to take it to a Toshiba Certified Service Center to have the password removed, or changed. You may have to show proof of ownership.

Hope it helps.
Thank You for using FixYa.

Hello,
The password on boot is a security feature devised to thwart thefts of laptop computers. It would not be much of a deterrent if just anybody can circumvent the measure.
For a Toshiba laptop there is not much you can do except take it to a Toshiba Certified Service Center to have the password erased. I suspect It is the same for an HP laptop. If you take it to an HP service center, be ready to show proof of ownership.

Hope it helps.

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)

This is what you have to do:

1. Start the desktop PC and start the hex-editor

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

check you manual or with toshiba, but it is possible to get the bios reset you just need to have the right tools. It might be a disk or a setting in the bios itself.
