Hi all,
I have a Toshiba PORTEGE R205-S209, and as soon as i power on the laptop it asks me for a password right after it initilizes the BIOS.
I dont seem to remember the password, and i have tried several ways, like holding down the LEFT-SHIFT key, and tried to open up the laptop, but couldnt get one screw open and destroyed the screw, the shift method didnt work either.
I tried calling Toshiba, but they couldnt help.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, as i have important files in this laptop that i would like to recover.
Thank you
Sincerely
Nit
 
well i don't have any idea how to keep it from asking for a password because you can't just reset the bios like a desktop, but you could get a hard drive converter and plug the hard drive into a desktop and then pull your files off that way.
 
Can you get into your bios? If you can, I think you can take off the bios password but I am not too sure but it is worth trying.
 
there are places on a notebook that allow you to clear the bios password, however some of these involve looking for switches underneath the keyboard etc.
Oddly enough ive seen a couple of sites saying that simply writing Toshiba (with capital) will get past it although i am skeptical.
