How to unlock the basic input output system on your Toshiba laptop computer you ask? Right after you hit the power button on your laptop you will want to press the F2 function key on your keyboard. This should make that computer enter the basic input output system.
If not, you can try pressing the escape key on your keyboard while powering on that laptop. Then press the F1 function key on your keyboard. Once you are successfully in your basic input output screen, look for a menu called “Security” or “Advanced”. In this correct menu you can look for a “supervisor” or “security” password.
There will be an option to “Disable” that password. If you are prompted for a “Basic Input Output System” password after attempting those keystrokes above, then try power cycling that computer and pressing the left “SHIFT” key on your keyboard as that computer is powering on. This should bypass the basic input output screen password prompt.
If you still cannot bypass that first password screen you can try entering in “Toshiba” without quotes with a capital T. You will want to only try entering that password once. If it does not work do not try it again as some laptop computer basic input output system’s will lock you out completely after three failed password attempts.
This procedure was originally written in the abstract for a Toshiba computer model number #PSAA5U laptop. These instructions can be applied towards other Toshiba laptop computers.

video deals with a locked bios system
0:00:11.490,0:00:20.400
bios no bueno muy mall those can be
0:00:15.240,0:00:23.189
tragic Arrangements tragic instances in
0:00:20.400,0:00:26.699
life but sometimes you can unlock a BIOS
0:00:23.189,0:00:31.380
this one deals with a Toshiba laptop
0:00:26.699,0:00:35.969
more specifically model number p SI 5u
0:00:31.380,0:00:39.180
so if you have a dell or an HP or asus
0:00:35.969,0:00:40.890
these instructions probably are not that
0:00:39.180,0:00:43.290
helpful or though maybe as a
0:00:40.890,0:00:45.809
generalization they might help you to
0:00:43.290,0:00:50.309
try to think of a way to unlock your
0:00:45.809,0:00:53.070
bios or they won’t be verbatim they but
0:00:50.309,0:01:01.859
there are other ways to unlock BIOS
0:00:53.070,0:01:03.809
passwords on HP asus Dell IBM Lenovo etc
0:01:01.859,0:01:07.770
but they’re not verbatim it’s not the
0:01:03.809,0:01:11.340
exact same procedure so BIOS locked how
0:01:07.770,0:01:14.939
to unlock the BIOS on your Toshiba
0:01:11.340,0:01:17.189
laptop how to unlock a BIOS on a Toshiba
0:01:14.939,0:01:20.790
laptop right after you hit a power
0:01:17.189,0:01:23.670
button on your laptop press an f2 key
0:01:20.790,0:01:28.080
this should make that computer enter a
0:01:23.670,0:01:30.900
BIOS if not try pressing an escape key
0:01:28.080,0:01:36.180
while powering on that laptop then hit
0:01:30.900,0:01:40.229
an f1 key once in a BIOS look for a menu
0:01:36.180,0:01:43.729
called security or advanced in this
0:01:40.229,0:01:49.890
correct menu look for a supervisor or
0:01:43.729,0:01:52.470
security password so that’s a quick easy
0:01:49.890,0:01:54.570
way to change your password but let’s
0:01:52.470,0:01:56.310
say you forgot your bios password or
0:01:54.570,0:02:00.540
let’s say you have your Toshiba laptop
0:01:56.310,0:02:02.969
set up so that you have to enter in your
0:02:00.540,0:02:05.280
bios password you know when you as soon
0:02:02.969,0:02:07.229
as you power on your Toshiba laptop
0:02:05.280,0:02:10.979
it’ll automatically prompt you for a
0:02:07.229,0:02:13.020
password similar to this graphic down
0:02:10.979,0:02:13.590
here similar but maybe not the exact
0:02:13.020,0:02:16.950
same
0:02:13.590,0:02:18.600
your Toshiba laptop or let’s say you
0:02:16.950,0:02:21.030
bought it you bought it used off a
0:02:18.600,0:02:24.360
Craigslist or Ebay or from a friend and
0:02:21.030,0:02:28.940
they didn’t tell you that there is a
0:02:24.360,0:02:32.220
password well a lot of times you’re Sol
0:02:28.940,0:02:35.760
you are out of luck sometimes you’re not
0:02:32.220,0:02:38.010
it just depends so continuing on with
0:02:35.760,0:02:40.800
this there will be an option to disable
0:02:38.010,0:02:43.080
that password if you are prompted for a
0:02:40.800,0:02:47.910
bios password after attempting those
0:02:43.080,0:02:50.660
keystrokes above let’s say you tried you
0:02:47.910,0:02:54.269
went through the previous instructions
0:02:50.660,0:02:58.800
security advanced supervisor security
0:02:54.269,0:03:00.690
password and then try to disable it then
0:02:58.800,0:03:03.330
try power cycling that computer and
0:03:00.690,0:03:08.610
pressing a left shift key as that
0:03:03.330,0:03:11.010
computer is powering on so what I mean
0:03:08.610,0:03:13.140
by that is if you try to disable that
0:03:11.010,0:03:16.319
password and it still prompts you for a
0:03:13.140,0:03:19.200
bios password well either you have to
0:03:16.319,0:03:22.829
know the password or you continue on
0:03:19.200,0:03:28.680
with my blog post from a net computers
0:03:22.829,0:03:30.930
comb so press the left shift key as that
0:03:28.680,0:03:35.250
computers powering on this should bypass
0:03:30.930,0:03:39.209
a bios password prompt hopefully but it
0:03:35.250,0:03:41.400
might not so what I’m getting at is I’m
0:03:39.209,0:03:44.280
trying to help you get past a bios
0:03:41.400,0:03:46.620
password sometimes not with all
0:03:44.280,0:03:49.560
Toshiba’s and not with all computers
0:03:46.620,0:03:51.299
sometimes there’s certain ways you can
0:03:49.560,0:03:54.209
get around it maybe you can disable the
0:03:51.299,0:03:58.370
bios password but most times it asks you
0:03:54.209,0:04:03.329
for the original password but not always
0:03:58.370,0:04:06.510
sometimes there’s a key stroke option to
0:04:03.329,0:04:09.269
bypass the bios password prompting you
0:04:06.510,0:04:11.519
but a lot of times there’s not if you
0:04:09.269,0:04:15.570
still cannot bypass that first password
0:04:11.519,0:04:18.660
screen please try entering in Toshiba
0:04:15.570,0:04:21.599
without quotes with a capital T so
0:04:18.660,0:04:25.169
that’s capital T Oh Shi ba without
0:04:21.599,0:04:26.460
quotes please only try entering that
0:04:25.169,0:04:29.370
password one
0:04:26.460,0:04:32.759
if it doesn’t work don’t try it again as
0:04:29.370,0:04:35.610
some laptop bios’s will lock you out
0:04:32.759,0:04:39.930
completely after three failed password
0:04:35.610,0:04:44.009
attempts yes some are geared that way so
0:04:39.930,0:04:48.210
be very careful because once you lock
0:04:44.009,0:04:52.530
your bios password no boy no muy mall
0:04:48.210,0:04:54.710
and with some computers it’s over you
0:04:52.530,0:05:00.030
have to it’s very technical
0:04:54.710,0:05:02.820
so caveat try it once if it doesn’t work
0:05:00.030,0:05:05.490
I wouldn’t unless it’s up to you you
0:05:02.820,0:05:07.349
basically on a lot of Toshiba bios’s you
0:05:05.490,0:05:10.080
have three strikes and you’re out it’s
0:05:07.349,0:05:14.160
like watching a breads and circuses
0:05:10.080,0:05:18.810
waste of time baseball game so it’s up
0:05:14.160,0:05:24.120
to you this procedure was originally for
0:05:18.810,0:05:30.169
a Toshiba model number ps1
0:05:24.120,0:05:33.030
a a Double A as in my name Aaron 5u
0:05:30.169,0:05:35.130
laptop these instructions can be applied
0:05:33.030,0:05:37.050
towards other Toshiba laptops but not
0:05:35.130,0:05:39.510
all Toshiba laptops use the exact same
0:05:37.050,0:05:41.669
BIOS with the exact same procedures but
0:05:39.510,0:05:44.940
they might and then I would try it I
0:05:41.669,0:05:47.580
would that password actually unlocked a
0:05:44.940,0:05:49.139
client of mine’s laptop that’s why I
0:05:47.580,0:05:53.599
wrote this blog post so it’s it’s
0:05:49.139,0:05:56.940
possible it’s worth a shot but really I
0:05:53.599,0:05:58.639
would only try once if it fails once and
0:05:56.940,0:06:01.860
then make sure you type in that password
0:05:58.639,0:06:06.389
with the first letter uppercase the rest
0:06:01.860,0:06:10.919
of the letters lowercase and then let me
0:06:06.389,0:06:14.280
go into other ways of possibly unlocking
0:06:10.919,0:06:16.470
your bios password now sometimes it
0:06:14.280,0:06:20.729
depends on this is where you want to use
0:06:16.470,0:06:24.830
Google and you would Google that laptop
0:06:20.729,0:06:27.630
model number PSA a5 you or whatever
0:06:24.830,0:06:35.419
laptop model you are using whether it’s
0:06:27.630,0:06:35.419
a Dell or HP or Lenovo Asus whatever etc
0:06:35.690,0:06:40.060
sometimes you can take out the C Mo’s
0:06:38.460,0:06:44.230
battery
0:06:40.060,0:06:46.120
and that’s a whole separate video on
0:06:44.230,0:06:48.790
there’s different types of CMOS battery
0:06:46.120,0:06:50.470
some are they look some look like a
0:06:48.790,0:06:51.520
battery I mean that’s why they’re called
0:06:50.470,0:06:55.360
a CMOS battery
0:06:51.520,0:06:58.420
they are batteries but some literally
0:06:55.360,0:07:00.750
just slide into a little slot and they
0:06:58.420,0:07:02.860
look like kind of a coin they look
0:07:00.750,0:07:04.720
they’re look I think they’re most of
0:07:02.860,0:07:06.670
them are smaller than a quarter but you
0:07:04.720,0:07:08.500
know somewhere around there and they
0:07:06.670,0:07:11.170
just slide in a little slot and then you
0:07:08.500,0:07:14.530
can take them out if you have a CMOS
0:07:11.170,0:07:17.200
battery you can take out the CMOS
0:07:14.530,0:07:21.070
battery unplug the power cable from the
0:07:17.200,0:07:23.800
laptop press the power button for I
0:07:21.070,0:07:26.050
don’t know 15 to 30 seconds and then
0:07:23.800,0:07:30.580
just let your laptop sit there for a
0:07:26.050,0:07:33.910
while and then put back the CMOS battery
0:07:30.580,0:07:36.520
powered up that what that can do is that
0:07:33.910,0:07:40.810
can reset your CMOS back to factory
0:07:36.520,0:07:44.200
settings it might disable the BIOS
0:07:40.810,0:07:46.870
password it might and then but really I
0:07:44.200,0:07:49.330
don’t want to talk about BIOS seamos
0:07:46.870,0:07:51.400
because it’s very technical there’s
0:07:49.330,0:07:53.919
different procedures sometimes there’s a
0:07:51.400,0:07:56.530
jumper setting on the motherboard where
0:07:53.919,0:07:58.270
you enable the jumper then you take out
0:07:56.530,0:08:00.250
the battery then you power on the
0:07:58.270,0:08:03.130
computer with the battery taken out but
0:08:00.250,0:08:04.750
with the jumper setting correct so but I
0:08:03.130,0:08:06.910
just want to go over will real quick
0:08:04.750,0:08:09.490
that that’s a quick one take out the
0:08:06.910,0:08:11.440
CMOS battery or unhook it some see most
0:08:09.490,0:08:14.110
batteries are attached to a little power
0:08:11.440,0:08:16.900
supply excuse me a little power cable
0:08:14.110,0:08:20.110
and then they plug in to the motherboard
0:08:16.900,0:08:23.500
and you just unhook that power cable and
0:08:20.110,0:08:26.580
then same procedure you press the power
0:08:23.500,0:08:29.460
button for I don’t know 15 to 30 seconds
0:08:26.580,0:08:32.080
let it sit there for a couple of minutes
0:08:29.460,0:08:34.599
hook up the power cable to the CMOS
0:08:32.080,0:08:38.680
battery and then power on the computer
0:08:34.599,0:08:40.659
and cross your fingers and hopefully it
0:08:38.680,0:08:43.150
doesn’t prompt you for a BIOS password
0:08:40.659,0:08:46.780
but there’s no guarantees because some
0:08:43.150,0:08:52.060
biases are literally hard-coded once you
0:08:46.780,0:08:52.620
set a BIOS password that’s it some
0:08:52.060,0:08:56.670
computer
0:08:52.620,0:09:02.220
are not that way so and then any other
0:08:56.670,0:09:04.440
tips that’s an option but fundamentally
0:09:02.220,0:09:07.500
this was more geared for a specific
0:09:04.440,0:09:09.870
Toshiba laptop if you don’t have a
0:09:07.500,0:09:11.880
Toshiba laptop or these instructions
0:09:09.870,0:09:14.040
didn’t work or you follow these
0:09:11.880,0:09:17.400
instructions verbatim and it’s just no
0:09:14.040,0:09:19.320
boy no meme all even the Toshiba that’s
0:09:17.400,0:09:21.450
another thing you could do not I think
0:09:19.320,0:09:23.190
there might be other Toshiba factory
0:09:21.450,0:09:27.120
passwords so you might want it if you
0:09:23.190,0:09:29.130
don’t have a Toshiba model PA sa a5 you
0:09:27.120,0:09:31.620
because a lot of people don’t I mean
0:09:29.130,0:09:34.230
that’s only one model of Toshiba Xand
0:09:31.620,0:09:37.860
there’s plenty of others is you want to
0:09:34.230,0:09:41.100
Google your Toshiba laptop model number
0:09:37.860,0:09:44.460
exactly the way it’s on the label on the
0:09:41.100,0:09:46.880
underside of the laptop or sometimes
0:09:44.460,0:09:52.560
it’s under the battery or wherever it’s
0:09:46.880,0:09:58.020
labeled just do a quick reset bios
0:09:52.560,0:10:00.660
password toshiba 5678 95 or whatever
0:09:58.020,0:10:02.190
your model number is look into it there
0:10:00.660,0:10:04.529
could be a password that might be
0:10:02.190,0:10:06.120
different a different factory password
0:10:04.529,0:10:10.020
or different instructions
0:10:06.120,0:10:12.959
so hopefully overall this blog post and
0:10:10.020,0:10:16.350
this YouTube video hopefully hopefully
0:10:12.959,0:10:19.589
it helps you reset your bios password if
0:10:16.350,0:10:23.550
not hopefully it gives you some tips so
0:10:19.589,0:10:26.430
that you can possibly unlock your bios
