    Hey all, this is my first post on this site, and I am at my wits end. I am hoping one of you will have my solution.

    I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-19RHRAX1M and when I hit F2 on startup to go into the BIOS, it asks for a password. I have removed the battery and the CMOS battery overnight, and when I boot it up it shows the CMOS error, but when I continue, it still asks for a password. Can anyone tell me how to remove this and get into the BIOS?

    Kevin

    Send the laptop to Heartlands USA...The official Panasonic repair center..It costs $200 or $300. They replace the motherboard.
