The Toshiba Laptop Bios Password Removal Key will remove the bios password on most models
This is what you need:
1. Your notebook
2. An empty formatted diskette (720 kb or 1,44 mb)
3. A second computer (e.g. a DOS desktop PC)
4. A hex-editor (e.g. Norton DiskEdit or HexWorks)
This is what you have to do:
1. Start the desktop PC and start the hex-editor
2. Put the disk in drive A:
3. Change the first five bytes of sector 2 (boot sector is sector 1) to: 4B 45 59 00 00
4. Save it! Now you have a KEYDISK
5. Remove the disk from drive A:
6. Put the disk in the notebook drive
7. Start the notebook in Boot Mode (push the reset button)
8. Press Enter when asked for Password:
9. You will be asked to Set Password again. Press Y and Enter.
10. You now see the BIOS configuration where you can set a new password.
Of course this will only work if you can still boot the machine. And that's all!

Description: An absolute must if you are a PC engineer or if you trade laptops. Could not be simpler just plug in the hardware key to the parallel port, power on and any existing bios password safely removed without any side affects. You can then enter the bios to set a new password required. These devices are professionally made and tested before dispatch and retail for $39.50 elsewhere.
