1347700 2013-07-02 04:35:00 Try what Wainui suggested, some Toshibas have easy ways to reset the passwords, some don't.

A lot have the pins under the mylar film under the RAM, if you short these out while powering the notebook on, that will reset the password, IF your laptop has those pins.

From experience, often the password isn't cleared by taking the battery out on these models. Some models, if you forget or lose the password, you're screwed.

Edit - sorry, after having a read through the whole thread, I see you've already tried all of the above. Pull it apart and try removing the battery overnight.

These come apart real easy. Pop the strip above the keyboard off, take keyboard out, remove any screws into the chassis from under the keyboard, and remove the lot from the back. I can change a motherboard in these in under 20 mins, they are one of the easiest notebooks ever made to pull apart.
