Removing the BIOS Password
Follow one of the procedures below to remove a BIOS Password. See the section 'Setting the BIOS Password', above, to determine which type of BIOS your computer has. Once the password is removed, the computer will no longer prompt for a password when it's started. Removing the BIOS Password requires you to enter it first.
If you cannot recall the BIOS Password, only a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider can remove it.
