| Bypassing the Bios Password on a Toshiba L350D Hi all, I am new to this forum so excuse me if i get anything wrong.  I have just purchased a second hand Toshiba L350D 12M from a well know auction site. The problem is that i do not know the start up password and i am having no luck contacting the seller  What i want to know is, is there a way to bypass this password? As you power up, Toshiba comes up then is switches to a black screen with a blue box asking for the current password. I have tried various 'backdoor' passwords etc with no luck. Can anybody help me as i fear i may have wasted my money  |

| Bypassing the Bios Password on a Toshiba L350D As far as I know the only way here is to open the thing, pull the CMOS battery or switch the jumper and that should reset it. Pain in the butt but beats having a useless laptop.

| Bypassing the Bios Password on a Toshiba L350D I have tried taking the cmos battery out this morning. Left it for about ten minutes but it did not solve the problem  I think i will try leaving it for 24hours unless anyone thinks that is a waste of time. As for the jumper, i can not see one anywhere on the board. |

| Bypassing the Bios Password on a Toshiba L350D Yeah, give the 24hr thing a shot. Make sure to unplug and remove (regular) battery as well, for obvious reasons. Unless it has some magical air-to-current device that should fix the password issue.

| Bypassing the Bios Password on a Toshiba L350D These are not normally simple CMOS battery removal passwords.

| Bypassing the Bios Password on a Toshiba L350D Some (but not all) Toshiba Laptops will bypass the bios password, if the Left Shift key is held down whilst booting.

| Bypassing the Bios Password on a Toshiba L350D Thanks for the help guys. Tried leaving the bios battery disconnected for 24hrs but still no joy. Also tried the left shift key, but again, no joy. I have a distinct feeling i have been ripped off and can't afford to buy another one now. |
