    Toshiba Satellite 4100XCDT Bios

    I have set a bios password but forgot what it is. Is there a way to clear the bios through jumper settings? Or maybe software?

    I would appreciate any help given.

    Toshibas are known for their security... you will have to send it to Toshiba.

    the password is disabled by a parallel port loopback.

    here is a link on how to make one

    you can also bring it to an authorized service provider and have them do it, but that would cost you.

    I don't know exactly where in Ireland you are, but it seems the only service providers toshiba uk lists are in nothren ireland.

    Thumbs up

    Loop Back Parallel adapter is very easy to make and it works!!
    This is the same technique Toshiba technicians use to remove passwords!

    IT Worked!

    I have made myself the loopback plug and it worked a treat.

    Thanks to Evil Deed and Damned Angel, for your help.
