You are asking how to defeat the security built into your laptop. Imagine that your laptop was stolen, and the thief was on Yahoo Answers asking how to get rid of that BIOS password, and since we are talking about a Thief, he would have no issue with lying about it being his laptop. *SHOULD* there be an easy way to get rid of that BIOS password?
There is no jumper you can set. You cannot remove the CMOS battery because the password is stored in an EPROM chip that doesn't require electricity. Some earlier Toshibas that had Parallel ports could have their BIOS passwords cleared with a special plug that would fit onto the Parallel port, but since newer ones don't have those old printer ports, that doesn't work any more. Some relatively modern Toshiba laptops have special places on the motherboard that can be shorted to clear the CMOS password, but Toshiba has been moving the location of those contacts, as people have been learning where those contacts are. Toshiba is doing its best to keep these laptops secure.
So, without ANY specific information as to the model laptop that you have, nothing can really be done for you. Call Toshiba tech support, and arrange to have the laptop shipped to them. They will clear the password, and ship the laptop back to the registered owner.
