Hello all,

I am looking for some help in recovering/clearing the BIOS Passwords
on a couple of laptops I have.

Here are the models I have:

Toshiba Satellite 1900
Model Number: PS192C-00824

and

IBM ThinkPad R51
Type: 1836-QNU

I have tried a few things so far which haven't worked, such as the
parallel loopback connector for the Toshiba, and KeyDisk... to no
avail.

If someone could give me some more ideas, or give me definite
instructions on how to make a Toshiba KeyDisk properly, I would be
very grateful.

Thanks,
M

Who are you? And why do you have two laptops with password protected
BIOS? Where is/are the owners of the laptops? You do know this sounds
suspicious right?

Looking back on the original post it kinda does look suspicious.

Here's the background:

I am currently working at my local Children's Services as an IT Summer
Student. Every machine that we give out to the workers is protected by
a generic power on password. The problem lies in the woman who worked
as the network admin before the current admin. She didn't really have
the education for the job and she was always doing shady things, and
she was fired. All of the machines booted fine before, and now she's
changed the passwords and won't tell unless she's paid for the
information.

------------------

Extortion is criminal offence on both sides of the pond. With this
information it should be easy to extract the password from her.

If she still won't reveal the password(s) they you should be looking to
replace all the laptops at her expense.
