I recently inherited a Toshiba Satellite A-45 laptop that when turned on, immediately demands a password. As the previous owner is deceased, I need Divine intervention or your help to get it to boot. I followed a tutorial on YouTube and totally dismantled the machine. I disconnected the battery and also poked with a paperclip to try to reset the bios. I re-assembled, turned on and "Password" started flashing immediately. I am ready to dismantle and sell the parts on e-bay, but maybe someone has a solution? Thanks.
