| I think you can reset the password by removing the CMOS battery from your motherboard for around 30 minutes. The battery will look like a large watch battery (round, flat disk). There might also be a jumper that you can use to clear your CMOS memory - check your motherboard manual to see if you have one of these.
Just watch out when opening your PC and tinkering around inside. You can fry yourself and/or the components in your computer. If you don't feel confident - take it to a PC repair shop. |

Second, there are generally 2 ways to reset the entire CMOS (not just the passwords). One is thru a motherboard jumper if your mobo has that feature (check your documention to see). The other is to pull the battery. It may be necessary to pull the battery for up to 24 hours depending on the system. |

| I assume it is a Toshiba Laptop you wish to bypass the BIOS password.
Unfortunately, in the past the vast majority of Tosh laptops could only have their BIOS password bypassed by using an adapter that plugs into the parallel port (basically certain pins are shorted out on the parallel interface. Removing the BIOS battery makes no difference. Not sure if this is still the case. |

Pay to call ScottGem for advice ($.75/min) | With a laptop you probably need to remove the System battery for a period of time, I would give it at least 24 hours.
And, again, I suggest you not ask for unethical help like asking for "backdoor" passwords. |

| What model of Tosh laptop is it ? There should be a code on the underside on the serial number label, e.g. PS600E-01YNE-DK. |
