    You'll need to send this to a Toshiba service center, as the normal home tricks don't work.

    I has client with a ACER notebook. ACER also said there is no way that I can recover it, I had to send it off to them.

    Anyway, we all know that there is a battery that keeps the BIOS info. Removing the battery for about 5min will obviously cause the BIOS to loose it's setting but now they are clever, and solder a battery to the mainbaord.

    Solution, use a small screwdriver or wire to short the battery for about 10sec and woala, the settings was reset.

    I'm afraid this trick DOESN'T work on Tosh machines..
