I have just been given a toshiba nb200 laptop to look at, upon startup one day the owner got the message built in hdd/ssd password.
She has never put in a password to this machine, after a bit of research i have found this is a very common fault with toshiba laptops, I have downloaded the latest bios but it is updated within windows so i need to access the machine first.
I have tried resetting the bios using the jw1 jumper, the bios did successfully reset and that should have been it, however to my suprise this built in hdd password message is still preventing the machine from loading.
Any ideas ? should i try removing the hdd and then doing the reset ?
