Subject: BIOS password reset |
Comment: How do I clear the BIOS password so I can put in a new one on a Toshiba Satellite 4010CDS? I am trying to fix my sister's laptop that she spilled coffee on. She took it into a service center(MicroAge) to get it fixed and they told her that she might as well get a new one. I asked her to send me the laptop and it seems to me that all it needs is a new keyboard. I have unplugged the keyboard and plugged mine in and it seems to work. When it does start up though it asked for the BIOS disk. I downloaded the BIOS from Toshiba's site and installed it, but now I need the password. Any help will be appreciated.

Reply: (edit)Thank you!! What a simple solution!!! I feel so bone-headed. Why didn't I think of that!? Anyway it works! All she needs is a new keyboard--As opposed to a new laptop. I guess MicroAge just wanted to sell a new one. Thanks again!!
