Satellite A25-S207 cmos

The user manual gives no other option than taking the unit to an authorised toshiba dealer if you "forget" the power-on password. With laptops this is an antitheft feature and in most cases there is no CMOS reset jumper to use. Removing the CMOS battery also does not work. I guess an authorised toshiba dealer will have access to factory default override passwords or some other means of resetting the thing on receipt of proof of ownership. I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.
