[RESOLVED] Toshiba 2515CDS notebook

[wannaBEnerd]

I got this thing from a friend.... I cant get into the BIOS cause there is a password, and my friend dont remember what it is.... How do I disable the password on this thing(Toshiba 2515CDS)

Remove the Battery on the board for five minutes. or fing the Clear cmos jumper.
But you have a Notebook so I can't be sure if these things will work for you.

Go here for the manual. to find the Jumper.

There is no jumper on the Toshibas. To remove a password you have to have a parallel loopback that has some of the pins looped together. I have the pinout at work and Ill post back Monday if you like (that is if I can find it) All ya gotta do is turn the machine on with the loopback and it will remove the password.

good thing I never threw out the paper with the pinout on it.

2-32
1-13
31-10
36-11
14-12


put that on the parallel port and start the machine holding the esc key. this will get you into the bios and let you remove the password.
