    I have a Toshiba Satellite M35-S359 Notebook. Now My little brother used it while i was on vacation, and he says he didn't change the bios password. I think he did and now he just has forgotten it![ :(!]
    Can someone tell me if there is a default password or a way i can get it to work.
    Thanks in advance

    I believe the only way to reset the new Toshiba notebook passwords is to send the unit in for service. I don't think pulling the batteries will reset the BIOS on these newer units. Might be stored on an NVRAM chip.
