How to unlock the BIOS on Toshiba laptop. Right after you hit the power button on your laptop press the F2 key. This should make the computer enter your BIOS.

If not, try pressing the ESC key while powering on the laptop then hit the F1 key. Once in the BIOS look for a menu called “Security” or “Advanced”. In the correct menu look for a “supervisor” or “security” password. There will be an option to “Disable” that password.

If you are prompted for a “BIOS” password after attempting the keystrokes above, then try power cycling the computer and pressing the left “SHIFT” key as the computer is powering on. This should bypass the BIOS password prompt.

If you still cannot bypass the first password screen please try entering in “Toshiba” without the quotes with a capital T. Please only try entering that password once. If it doesn’t work don’t try it again as some Laptop BIOS’s will lock you out completely after 3 failed password attempts.

This procedure was originally for a Toshiba model #PSAA5U laptop. These instructions can be applied towards other Toshiba laptops.
