If I am not mistaken you can bypass most bios passwords...Especially older ones by resetting the CMos...\nHere is a link for resetting the CMOS Battery...\nTry it out.\nhttp://www.smartcomputing.com/Editorial/article.asp?article=articles/2004/w1510/32w10/32w10.asp&guid=

You can probably cheat the BIOS password protection by removing the CMOS battery for a day, then reinstalling it; that should make the mobo forget the password. If it doesn't, you can always re-flash the BIOS; follow the instructions on the mobo manufacturer's Web site.\n\nIn re: The Windows 2000 computer's password, if you don't have anything on the PC of value, once you get past the BIOS issue, just format the disk and start anew.

if u r talking about the windows logon password for you have lost or forgotten the administrator password, let me tell you very frankly, this is simply not possible if you dont have any administrator rights password.\nif you are talking about the BIOS password, all you need to do is to \nopen your cabinet\nlocate and take out the CMOS battery\nkeep it out for 10 - 15mins,\nput it back\nclose the cabinet\nyour computer now wont ask for any stsrtup passwords, its reset, now you can change or remove the passwords in the BIOS settings if any.

try opening up ur laptop and take out the button cell that is present on the motherboard. this will reset all the information that had been changed previously and hence ur password will be resetted. :)

Dell Computers can disable the CD-ROM drives in the BIOS setup, just hit F2 after turning the computer on. Just change the Secondary master drive to "Off", "None" or equivalent. Then, you can enter a password in the BIOS setup screen so he can't go in and change it.\n\nThe only way to reset the password without knowing it would be to take out the battery, unplug the pc, and short the cmos jumper on the motherboard.  Let's hope he doesn't read this or figure that out!

1 - Before you do anything backup all your data TWICE. You are about to do something very drastic and need a fallback.\n\n2 - You clearly don't know much about what you are about to do and therefore I strongly suggest you don't do anything. Consider paying an expert.\n\n3 - If you must go ahead here are some instructions\nhttp://www.dewassoc.com/support/bios/bios_password.htm\n\n///

Not only can you password your account (which you should ALWAYS do anyway, many PC's and laptops also offer the ability to have a second p/w set within the BIOS - preventing anyone without the p/w from even booting up the computer :)

first, you have to install your new hdd in the computer's BIOS. after that you can boot from the cd/dvd/whatewer. if the computer wants to ask u a password, than this password is your BIOS password, and NOT the windows password !!!!! if u don't know that pass, the easyest way is to turn off your pc, remove the 220/110 volt power cable and remove the little 3V battery from the motherboard. leave the computer for 2-3 minutes, than put back the battery, the power cable, anmd start the system, if everything weorked well, the bios will ask you to set up the date/time and everything. the bios password is gon now :)

Now let me address the other password - not the BIOS password - but the windows password. If this is what you mean by "boot up password", there are ways to clear out the administrator password. Search the net for "knoppix std" and learn all you can. You can really screw up a system if you dont do the right things.\n\nIf you are XP home edition, keep taping the F8 key after the power on self test, but before you see the windows logo. Start the computer in safe mode with "administrator" as the user id. You can then go to the users/groups control panel and reset all the passwords.

With the exception of the Celeron processor, your computer's \nspecs appear to be pretty decent (ex. 80gb hard drive and 512 RAM). However, due to the bios password problem, I am thinking that you should aim for $200. Also, see if you find this site helpful: http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-bios-password.shtml. According to it, the original bios password should be "Toshiba", unless of course it was changed.

There is one possible way, but not highly recommended (Specially if you forget):\n\nA password set on the CMOS Settings - as soon as you switch the PC on it asks for a Password.\n\nBecause with Windows you just press Esc at the log in screen

There are programs widly available (illegal mind you) that will crack the OS password. The battery and jumpers are only to reset the BIOS and will have no affect on the OS.\n\nUPDATE: If you don't feel comfortable cracking the administrator password, I would reset the BIOS and reinstall the OS...worst case scenario is you are out $90 for the OS,,,,unless you received it as well (to include the key).

if u forget the password, go directly at toshiba. But this sound that the computer don't belong to you

At the deepest level, you can enter the BIOS when starting your computer, and activate password protection there. This password will be demanded whenever your computer is started, before loading the operating system.\n\nIf you were a Unix user, you wouldn't have to ask this question, so I'll limit my reply to Windows XP:\n\nUnder Start -> Settings (I think, translated from a different language version: between "documents" and "search") go to "system -> user administration" and click "change user access" (or similar, third option from the top).
