Power On Password

Toshiba satellite C60-B Windows 7 Home. Client brings this laptop,said grandchildren had played with it. No CMOS battery to remove, Toshiba says I have to buy a new MB. Any ideas on how to unlock it?

 

You need to get the BIOS password from the client (if he/she set one — if the grandkids managed to set one, it's a new MB. )

 

This works wonders.. http://dogber1.blogspot.com/2009/05/table-of-reverse-engineered-bios.html

 

@foogoo ,

The scripts for Toshiba laptops are gone from that site.

 

You could have a look at this- hope it helps

There are other suggestions down left hand side of youtube page
Basically it was always a case of shorting out the correct terminals.
It used to be under thee ram stick, in pre-2009-11 Toshiba laptops, with a little bit of black tape over it, shaped like U, with a dot in the middle of the U, nd you just needed to short out the centre dot, and an earth.
