Ive forgotten my BIOS password

What can I do? I've forgotten the BIOS password on my Toshiba machine!

Don't panic yet RoxKWest! On most notebook PCs, the BIOS password may be registered under the BIOS SETUP option. You can access it by pressing the key and then the [F1] key and the option to have saved your password to a 'password service disk' was available to you. So, if a 'password service disk' was made, you need to follow these steps to remove the password: First, ensure the system is in boot mode and then turn the system off and back on with the 'password service disk' that you made in the floppy disk drive. Next, when the system prompts you for the password, press the key. You'll be asked to 'Set password again? (Y/N), enter N for no The last message you should get is to 'remove the disk, and press any key'. Once a key is pressed, the system should restart!

  • Satelite L300 - I've forgotten my BIOS password

    So basically Ive forgotten my BIOS password.
    When I try getting into the BIOS it asks for password and I dont know it. I really need it cos Im trying to install windows and I have to change the hard drive settings to install it so I dont get any faults.
    How can i go about resetting the password? Please help.

    As many times mentioned in this forum BIOS password deletion method cannot be explained in public forum and this must be done by authorized personal only.
    This is very important and sensitive protection feature and explaining how to do this every stolen notebook protected by BIOS password could be unlocked.

  • Forgotten my BIOS password on my hp Pavilion dv2718 laptop!

    I have forgotten my BIOS password on my hp Pavilion dv2718us laptop. When I access Setup through F2 and then try three times unsuccessfully, I get code 08653. The specifics of my laptop are:
    HP Pavilion dv2718us laptop
    Phoenix BIOS ID F.27 11/27/2008
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2
    Please help ... gww

    Decided to go ahead and pull the CMOS battery and clear the password which worked fine. When I went into the BIOS, I realized that the first password given me - (generic Phoenix) pkxdirv actually worked because I had pressed F2 and not F10. F2 apparently only brings up the Diagnostics part of the setup, at least on this laptop. Thanks for the help ...

  • HT201240 Ive tried all the Command-s command-r and nothing is working. my macbook pro just keeps rebooting as normal. Ive forgotten my admin password, or have re-entered it incorrectly, and it won't let me downloads mavericks. No discs. HELP

    Ive tried all the shortcuts to do without start up discs, but it just keeps rebooting as normal..... Help. I cant download mavericks, Ive changed my apple id, and that didnt make any difference......

    Any reinstallation is not going to be successful if you have invalid node structure. You have bigger fish to fry here than worrying about DVD access.

    The first step of this was to do a 'fsck -fy' and here it told me I had a 'disk0s2: I/0 error.' and 'Invalid node structure' and the volume check had failed.
    You also mention that the 10.6 disc would read from the DVD but not allow you into Disk Utility? What happened when you tried to access it? Was it selectable and then didn't do anything?
    We can't really narrow down whether it is the DVD or anything else at this time.
    If you don't have a backup of the information it is probably toast if you cannot get Disk Utility to work. I would normaly suggest DIsk Warrior but that is a $79 gamble if you are not sure if the drive is working or not. It may be your last hope to recover whatever you can from the drive.
    Also, what was the original OS installed on the machine before it crashed? Was it 10.6 or was it the 10.5.7 you mentioned?

  • Re: Remove BIOS Password Stellite A210-158

    Hello.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-158.
    I gave him (unintentionally, of course) a BIOS password and do not know how to remove it. I was told to take his lithium battery in him, but I've disarmed and can not find it. Does anyone know how? In advance, thank you very much.

    You should use the forum search!!!
    There are a lot of threads about this and its always the same on every notebook. If you have forgotten your BIOS password you need help from an authorized service provider because the whole ROM module must be erased to delete the password. There is nothing what you can do in this case
    By the way, on the Toshiba website you can find a list of service providers :)
