So I fixed a computer for someone I work with. It involved reinstalling the OS. I had finished installing it and got everything running smoothly.
I returned it to him and everything was fine for 3-4 weeks, but then he came back to me and told me he left his computer on and had a power outage causing his computer to shutoff, when he tried turning it back on, it now asked for a password which is strange as I never set a password.
He handed it back to me to look at and sure enough, for some reason the bios is requiring a password to enter the pc, he said he didnt do it and that it just started requiring it.
Now, his computer is laptop (Battery doesnt hold charge thus why it died when power went out), its a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422, model PSAFGU-020002
Any ideas on how I can remove the bios password? If it requires opening it up, that isnt too much of a problem.
