I would recommend clearing the CMOS, but I don't know where the CMOS clear would be on a Toshiba A205. If you have disassembled the notebook before and know where the CMOS battery is, try popping that out for about a minute, otherwise you may want to call Toshiba to see how to clear that notebook's CMOS.
Take this with a grain of salt, but I did a bit of research and discovered that Toshiba's notebooks *supposedly* have a "backdoor" password of Toshiba (case sensitive) and that "Most Toshiba laptops and some desktop systems will bypass the BIOS password if the left shift key is held down during boot."

There were BIOS updates issued by Toshiba a few weeks ago for all their line of notebooks because of this issue. If possible (maybe not) you can download the BIOS update and install it through the CD if not your going to either find a backdoor or take it to a Toshiba Service Provider.
