How to Reset BIOS Password on a Toshiba Satellite Laptop 

Thank Jeff! I appreciate the feedback and the positive response!

you're a legend! spent hours researching how to fix this and this was the first thing I saw but I wasn't sure whether it was safe to do with a working laptop so i looked at other ways to do this but the other fixes were too complex for me as a beginner in IT troubleshooting. Thanks!

Thank you very much. My son has a Satellite C855. The internal layout was slightly different, but the B500 was still almost under the RAM cards. The whole process took us less than 10 minutes. Thanks again!

Excellent video. Helped me get my sister's new Toshiba back for her to use after she forgot her BIOS password. Those solder points on the Satellite C855D-S5100 are still in the RAM bay and still labeled B500. Thanks, man!

Thank you - used your technique as well as some advice elsewhere for the m300 (2 triangle looking thingys near the cmos plus). Worked like a charm and I now have a media laptop .

Thanks Brian! Managed to pull a broken laptop out of the tip for $15, invested $85 in new parts to fix it up and was absolutely devastated when I got defeated by a bloody password screen. Your trick worked a treat. Now I just have to get rid of the HDD/SSD password...

Dude, you are so awesome!!!! WOW! How did you find this out - service manual? This is a well-kept secret, indeed! The only way I can pay you back is to pray for you, and I will indeed lift you up before the Throne of Grace. Thank you for your generosity, and blessings.

Great video! This also worked for my roommates Satellite A505-S6980 - yours was the ONLY reference I found to the B500 label on the jumper. Nailed it!

it worked. u can use a screw drive except for wire. also when it says "the firmware has detected that a cmos battery blah blah", be sure to press f1 (continue), holding the wire/screw driver on the two b500 slots. then it boots the os and u're done. thanks a lot for the helpful vid

Thanks a lot, this really helped me, I have a Toshiba Satellite L355-S78312. I followed what you said to do step by step and it works just fine now. Excellent work.

Nevermind, the CMOS thing was another issue and this reset worked, had to try a few times but it worked. Great video, thanks!

Life saver...my Mom got my brothers laptop after he died 8 years ago, lots of pictures and stuff on it, my sister accidently installed a bios password and forgot what it was...I was just able to bypass that issue thanks to this video, my Mom (and sister) will be overjoyed to get his pictures and videos again (I will copy them to a thumbdrive just in case! They are not very tech savy)...thanks again!

Thank you!! Finally someone who understood what my problem was. Nothing to do with Word! I have been searching for an answer for months!!

Thank you. I did exactly as you showed and it worked like a charm. I performed this on a Satellite A305-S6905. Thanks.

you the man!!! this method without a doubt 100% works!! i searched all over the web and this man here is the only one right!! way to go Paradise Tech!!! I am subscribing...

Thanks for this video. Bought a new toshiba laptop from Walmart that was a display model and they had a password on the bios, i can reset it now and set it up as i wish. Perfect video showing how to do it.

Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5200 Thank you, Brian, for uploading this helpful video. I went through every step in this video and believe it would have worked for me if I had not had a second password in Bios. A continued search for the solution led me to a better understanding of how to properly change or reset a password in Bios. Hope the info below helps someone out there. If you know the password and just want to disable it from popping up all the time: - Boot up the machine and once the Toshiba logo pops up, press "F2" to get into the BIOS. Note: I used F12 to access BIOS. - Navigate to HDD password option and press "Enter". - Enter the current password when prompted and press "Enter". - When prompted for new password, leave blank or enter new password and press "Enter". - Navigate to "Exit" and "Save All Changes". The computer will restart and the HDD password should not pop up anymore.

This method worked great on my Toshiba Satellite C855D!

Many thanks. It worked with a Toshiba Satellite C55t series. Greetings from Suriname

You Da Man. Good one, Found both the two spots held a screw driver across them. Turned laptop on for 5 seconds if, connected everything back, worked like a charm.

Bryan !! Thank a lot ! With your instructions I do it ! I’m reset the Bios password !! You are the best !

Have an old toshiba with vista and a bios password. This helped me get it going again. Thanks.

This worked brilliantly!! Did everything you said but it wouldn't turn back on until I put the hard drive back in (Toshiba a300)

Thanks a lot!!!!! After watching 10+ videos I finally found the help i needed.

Thank you so much for posting this video. My computer is working great now, and I really appreciate it.

Worked perfectly for me on a Toshiba L655. The jumper points were in a slighly different location but still marked as B500.

Thank you! Someone working in Office depo security or some local law enforcement criminal stole a paper notebook that I was copying notes to file my IRS and Georgia taxes, after I copied pages and was paying attention to other documents in another area. There has never been a single thing in my life that would justify this theft by tax-paid criminals, but the greedy tale is too long to relate. I was locked out of this older Toshiba Satellite for a couple years. I have 4 newer PCs and a Macbook, but it ticked me that those thieves deprived me of the use of a piece of my equipment. Now it is back up! Thanks again.

Thanks....its working. don't forget to keep jumper for 1 minute it will definitely done.

This worked like a charm! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks man you saved me a ton. I'll definitely check out more of your stuff. I locked my bios thinking well if my puter gets stolen they cant do anything. after not using it for 4 months I forgot the dang password. I'm getting old.

THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT IT WORKED PERFECT

Awesome Jim! Glad it worked out! Another WIN!

Worked a treat on a Toshiba Satalite A300 PSAG8E, only amendment I made was to solder the wire onto the 2 contacts, mine was labled XXXB500. This guarantees that the contacts are bridged.

Thank I just did it with a Tashiba A215 and it worked like a charm !

worked well for my Toshiba C650D thanx

Thank you this worked. At first I was using a cat 5 end that did not have a solid wire but a mesh . I used a cat 3 phone cable and striped the cable and it was solid. After followed the instructions it work the first time

@maher hakawati - Thank you! Glad it worked for you.

The solder nodes were located in the bottom left hand corner of the RAM area on the Toshiba Satellite C855d-S5344. They were labelled B500 as mentioned in the video. Thanks.

Worked perfectly. Thank you so much for the info.

It works on a300, I did it at my 3rd try. I have tried different combinations the worked one was. Remove battery, ram and hdd connect the charge cable, open the pc (it will not open ) do the jumper thing and without unpluging power cord put rams and hdd then open the computer.

Worked for me.. Toshiba Satelite A300.. Thanx bud... This password just randomly appeared acording to my customer...

exelente funciono gracias...

God Bless you!!!

@Ed Miller - We charge $85 (USD) to do this. And it depends on where you are in the UK, you can get more if you are in a larger city, more rural areas, you may have to reduce the pricing. Let me know how it goes! Thanks for commenting!

Great video and very clearly spoken and explanatory. I was able to bypass the password on the second try but it was flashing and the screen went black. I cannot get it back to desktop. I did not have cat 5 cable and used the wire fraud it of a cat 3 RJ11. Could this be why it went black on me and how can I get it back? Thanks so much.

Hi sir. this video is really helpful. I just wanna ask if this method will also work with Toshiba Dynabook. Tyia!

very helpfull thank you. works with p875-s7102

Great Video! Can you tell me where the bios jumper is on the toshiba satellite c55d-b5160? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

thanks buddy this is what i was talking about thank u buddy this thing solved my laptop toshiba satellite

Hi Brian, Thank you so much for this very good video ! But I have this issue on a Toshiba Satellite C660D-15F and I don't find the nodes labeled B500. I have dismantled the motherboard completely. Do I have to look for another label ? best regards from France and thank you again for your wonderful job ! JP
