david grant,

i have a toshiba SPM30 model psm35e-ooomn -ne trying to get past bios past word to log in will this db25 work on this

I don’t think DB25 plug will work on this Toshiba laptop.
I believe with this one the only way to unlock the BIOS is calling to Toshiba for the unlock key but it has to be done by a certified Toshiba tech.

Hi everybody

May i ERASE a HD protected by a password ? ( Password created in bios)

I already tried a lot of professional utilities et none of them can “penetrate” this HD.

Thanks in advance.

@ Muzzammil,
I guess you can find a bunch of wires and use them as jumpers to short needed contacts. I hope you understand me.
Turn off the laptop and insert wires into holes in your parallel port as it shown in the diagram.
After that turn on the laptop. If you did everything correctly, it should clear the password.

Rick,

I have a Toshiba A120, there dosen’t seem to be any fix for this model.
Any Ideas?

This plug doesn’t work for newer Toshiba laptop. It works only for old Toshibas.

Most likely the BIOS password is cleared via shorting some pads on the motherboard. Take a look at the instructions published here: http://www.laptop-repair.info/toshiba_bios_password.html
I’m not sure if Satellite A120 series is similar to A100 series but you can try.

Any Ideas?
I can remove the mainboard / bios chip no problem and I have a universal programmer that supports it to dump and reflash the bios etc.

Please help, driving me mad!

James,
The parallel port will not help to unlock a Portege M200 laptop.
There is only one way to clear the BIOS password on this model – take it to the authorized repair center. The authorized technician will have to call Toshiba in order to clear the password.
