neighbor gave me his laptop today saying that he didnt know the password to get in.
the fucking thing is a toshiba satellite A205 series. somehow it decided that the bios has a password and now DEMANDS that password before it will even boot. this guy doesn't even know what a bios is...let alone how to set a password for it
im guessing a good way to workaround would be to clear the cmos but i cant find a solid resource on how to do it with this particular model. if anybody has any experience with this please please let me know.
i've tried searching for default passwords for bios...nothing
i've tried searching toshibas forums....nothing
i've tried winning the lottery...nothing
the only thing i was able to find was some sort of patch issued by toshiba for a bios update. apparently this problem was a bug they had with the series of laptop. unfortunately now it's way too late to try and flash the bios to the newer version because I CANT GET INTO THE FUCKING THING
HELP :(
