[QUOTE="springcrocus, post: 27160, member: 935"] This sounds like you are getting a BIOS lockout, you aren't getting past the very first screen? If this is the case, there is very little you can do about it. A lot of Toshiba laptops have a built-in security chip on the motherboard (an EEPROM) and removing the BIOS battery or resetting the BIOS with the CMOS jumper is unlikely to clear the password. There are ways past it, but I suspect the cure will cost you more than the laptop did. :( A Google search (Toshiba BIOS lockout) from your other machine will point you in the right direction. Best of luck Pray [/QUOTE]
