I have a Toshiba Satellite A505D-S6958 and it has the Insyde H20 Bios. Somehow the BIOS password got activated and I no longer can access the computer. I contacted Toshiba and was informed that the whole Motherboard would have to replaced. I have 15 years exp. as a computer technician and this sounds totally rediculous. Toshiba wants $425.00 for the fix and I only spent $350 on the laptop. Does anyone no of a fix for this issue, I have searched the Web and it appears that this laptop BIOS is a real SOB with no backdoor codes and since I cannot boot to a cd or floppy it appears that I am screwed. My advice is to never buy a Toshiba Laptop because they are like Apple computers no one can fix them except a certified repair shop.

"Somehow the BIOS password got activated"
How, How exactly does stuff like this happen? Did you loan it to someone or something?? -
Yes, that's not right. However, it is possible to repair it yourself. What's to stop you from purchasing a motherboard and replacing it yourself?
And this topic probably breaches the forum rules, as discussion of bypassing BIOS passwords and other passwords is forbidden...
