Resetting a Toshiba BIOS Password
Download (Keydisk) http://www.cgsecurity.org/keydisk.exe will reset the BIOS password on Toshiba laptops.

Can be reset using the Key Disk.exe utility, to do this you need a 1.44Mb floppy disk. Format the disk using Windows and then with a hex editor, change the first five bytes of the second sector to 4B 45 59 00 00.

Then put the floppy into your machine and boot it up, you'll be asked for a password, just press Enter. Then when you're asked to set the password, type Y then Enter, this will get you into the bios configuration where you can then type in a new password.

Easiest way to wipe clean the Bios password is as follows:

• Perform a power drain by removing laptop battery pack and/or docking station power supply and hold power button down for 10 seconds
• Locate the CMOS battery (usually under the smallest panel on the bottom of the laptop)
• Remove CMOS battery for 20 minutes (20 is arbitrary can wait longer if you wish)
• Replace CMOS battery and panel
• Replace battery pack and/or replace to docking station
• Power up

The Bios password should now be removed and you should be able to boot with no issues. Thank you for using Fixya and please remember to return to rate this answer.
