Toshiba Satellite L305D A205 A215 Bios Password Removal 

I have an old L355. As luck would have it, it has the same jumper in the same place. It is even labeled B500 just like yours. Now the only thing I did that was different was that it did not work unless I left the ram chip inside, while shorting the jumper and powering on. In this way it worked for me. You are my savior man! Thank you for a most excellent and to the point video. You saved me a very expensive repair shop bill !! Thank you Thank you !!!

After 20 tries I was going to give up since it wasn't working but I left both cards in and it worked on the first try.thanks!!!

I tried this several times with a flat head screwdriver and paper clip. Fresh cut cat 5 did the trick so your jumper needs to be super clean or for the soldering types you might even try cleaning the contacts with flux if they are badly corroded. Thanks for posting this video!

Worked great!! The only item/point that needs to be reiterated is "REMOVE THE JUMPER WHEN THE TOSHIBA LOGO DISAPPEARS". Thanks Again!!

I don't leave comments on these issues unless they work. This one, actually works! Thanks fella!

I wanted to say TY for this video it worked on my daughters Toshiba Laptop Satelite L505D-S5983. Took a few times and the Cat5 Cable worked the best tried speaker wire didn't work. You do need one memory stick in on the top. Tried the bottom memory didn't work did the top memory and it worked. Thank You again!!

I have been trying to get past a bios password on a relatives toshiba L655d-s5156rd. Thanks to Indemmand's videos I knew where to look. In my case the Jumper was labelled G2. Thank you for you efforts.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this video. I had no luck using a Cat5 wire, however, I used a small flat head screwdriver and it worked like a charm on the first try!

applause for people like you who share their knowledge with others, thanks

Worked for a Toshiba L350. Thank You

This is awesome. I could not believe i will get this solution till i came here. God bless you.

I found the B500 contacts on the laptop motherboards close where the Memory comparment is, I did all you mentioned on the video and my laptop has now the bios password reset , thank you very much. I've found all what you sai very important and usefull

Thank you so much!!! I used this on a L355 series. Confirmed: Working! the points are under the black protective covering in the memory bay, two soldier points separated by a line, I believe they were marked "XXX". I tried this before and didn't work. You must follow his instructions; leave ram in, power on the laptop from the A/C charger with the points shorted. once you see the network boot agent, remove the shunt (wire), power down and reassemble the laptop.

omg.. thanks to you my laptop is up and running again... I searched for hrs and tried everything known to mankind to get to reset this bios password... the cat 5 wire is the trick.... thank u so much... for this video....

for a A215-4697..the jumper IS J4. You just need a small screwdriver, HD out, BOTH sticks of ram out, hold it on the jumper for like 15 secs. Put the RAM back in...turn it on. You're done. Nicely done video I might add.

Thank you so much!!! This worked on my Toshiba Satellite PSLCBU.

DUDE you just saved me a ton of money brother!!!!!!!!! Worked like a freakin charm! My problem was i was using a paper clip and it wouldnt work, i tried the wire from a cat 5 cable and boom it reset. The hard drive was locked though, i just replaced it only cost 40 for a new one from best buy. Thank you so much man, you are a genius!

Thank you soo much! It worked. You just saved me a laptop! For anyone else who has this problem the contacts were slightly corroded so I had to try about 10 times before it worked.

Thanks friend. Great to help out. That password made out all my brain. Your instructions are most illustrative. It working!

amigo estoy muy agradecido por tu video y explicacion fue de gran ayuda la laptop que repare fue una toshiba satellite l305-sp5806r esta misma se encendia pero quedaba la pantalla con el logo de toshiba y de ahi no avanzaba, ya habia desolado la bateria y probado cada una de los dispositivos y nada. con tu explicacion quedo resuelto de nuevo muchas gracias. my english is bad but, im realy happy for result u r a big guy thnx 4 ur time to make the video.

Worked perfectly, a screw driver would not work for me either, once i used a copper wire, perfect. Subscribed.

Worked perfectly, even though our model was slightly different. Thanks!

For the love of god i can not thank you enough for posting this video.

Thanks!!! I had to leave the memory in or it would never try to boot but once I did that it worked perfect. Thanks again!

OK) Its really works for my Toshiba Satellite A300 !!! I am successfully reset bios password! Many Thanks for this tutorial! But in A300 you need insert memory module into the innermost socket (at left).

thanks again man your number one this method works but take me around 15 atemps but it worked at last

Thank you soo much! It worked......... for anyone else who has this problem the contacts were slightly corroded so I had to try about 10 times before it worked.

Dude you are awesome. It worked perfectly with my Laptop even though it was a different model. Thanks alot

Thank you so much for this, I just pulled this off on a toshiba l305-S5955 that I thought I would have to sell off. I feel like MacGyver r thanks to you lol, btw stripped down speaker wire is what I used for the cable. Thank you so so much just saved me a couple hundred bucks

Oh wow that worked. If only it were always this easy. Thanks!

@1plou Step 1: cut a piece of cat5 cable step 2: take out the battery and hard drive from the computer step 3: remove the memory and locate the jumper ( FOLLOW THE VIDEO) Step 4: put one stick of memory in and place the laptop on the side ( Connect the power cord) Step 5: You must have the jjumper hit both a ground location and the B500 or XXX jumper. ( Some people use another person to turn on and off the laptop. Step 6: turn on the laptop while holding the jumper in place.

Thnak you, try some times and I finally get it, thank you for give us a Light God Bless You

@bigtitanfan Glad to hear that it worked for you., I did forget to mention that you need to put one memory stick on the laptop and turn it on to be able to reset the bios.

@indemmand you get the super tutorial of awesomeness award of the week.. thanks for the suggestion... this technique worked perfectly on my a215 with cat-6 copper.. and yes @finster69 you do need at least one memory module installed or else it will not boot.

excellent tutorial, thank you very much

Worked on Toshiba Satellite L505D ! Thanks Mate =D

Sorry to hear that. You need to keep at it until you get it removed. Never give up.

Glad to hear that it help you. It's cheaper to buy a new hd then to try and remove the HDD Password bud. Regards,

Worked like a charm for an A205-S4707. Thanks. Using single wire from Cat 5 cable worked great. Thanks. Make sure you have at least 1 memory module installed or laptop will not boot! Don't recall if you mentioned that.

Thank you, this helped me a lot

Thank U, it works perfectly for me. You're awesome.

Thanks man it really works on my Laptop...

Very very very thanks . Saludos desde Chile.

Thank you very much! It worked for me.

Thanks you are the man. It worked like a champ

it took a few tries, but I finally got the jumper in position at the same time the power button was pushed...very tricky unless your a neurosurgeon ;-) my hands are not super steady and im nearsighted...BUT I GOT IT!!!! Thanks!!!!

Thank you so much!!! Working perfect. Thanks a lot. Eva

Thank You!!! Works for me!!!

works for the L350-21Q, the pads to short are marked b500 above and XXX below the pads. thanks. It's taken all day trolling the web to find this. the important part is starting up with pads shorted, and with some ram installed.

Thank you for your quickly answer. Dont you think that if the chip is bad, the laptop should turn on and work fine for a while untill the chip gets hot and power off the laptop? but ill check the chip just like you said. Thanks again man.
