Unfortunately there is no straight forward hardware password reset for laptops (as it is for desktops). However, there are many things you can try, first have a read here:

If nothing works, then you might wana try this tool called "KeyDisk" made only for Toshiba laptops, here:

pls how do i use the keydisk, i hav downloaded it

thanks

I did not use it before since I don't have a Toshiba. KeyDisk is a command line tool, you need a floppy disk/drive to use it. If your laptop doesn't have one then it will not work. If it has a floppy drive, then run the KeyDisk from command prompt.

If nothing works, try creating a parallel port loopback, as shown here:



The connections for the parallel port are shown on same page above ( www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd#Toshiba )

Or try disconnecting the BIOS battery, (doing this one will reset the BIOS to factory defaults), here:
