I forgot my password on my Toshiba Windows 10 laptop. Now every time I turn it on it has a black screen with a white box that says 'enter password' but I don't know the password.. I need to somehow reset my whole laptop. I've tried EVERYTHING, INCLUDING calling tech support, the Toshiba company, the windows company, watching YouTube videos, searching all over the internet, etc. Please I need desperate help. I need this laptop to do my school work and if I don't so my school work on this than I won't graduate High school. :( Someone please be my hero??

Jump to PostActually this is a known thing. The BIOS boot password reset varies with the make and model. If it's a current design ONLY the maker or their service folk can reset that password. Usually a small fee is involved.
Most of the time this reset does not wipe the drive …
Jump to Post@rubberman. The BIOS password is more of a PC thing. It's really helped in driving down the value of a stolen laptop. If you think a BIOS password is a show stopper, consider Apple's Lost Mode. Look it up and tell me what you think.
