Question

I have a Toshiba Satallite 1105 series laptop and made a loopaback cable to remove the BIOS password that quit working. I plugged the loopback in and booted the computer. I then pressed F2 to enter setup, but it still asks me for my password. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 2

Did you loose the password? Toshiba can unlock it for you but they have to authenticate it first.
