Re: blue screen and password

after doing some research on your problem. it seems that the only way to clear a BIOS password for your laptop is to take it in to a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider.

also depending on the age and model of the laptop and the version of BIOS you have on the computer. its possible that there may be a problem with the BIOS and a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider can fix it at no charge to you.

Re: blue screen and password

hi stephanie, try to take out your RAM...power it up without the RAM.. and then turn it off again..leave the machine withou the ram for about 2 mins...then put back the RAM power it on again..check whether the CMOS is clear..
