Recently my sister got a new laptop and she was planning on throwing her old one out, but I couldn't let such technology be reduced to trash so I picked it up from her.
It's a Toshiba Tecra M10 (PTMB0C-05R02L):
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 @ 2.53GHz
4GB of RAM
Running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
Unfortunately the BIOS on the laptop is locked with a Supervisor password and so far I've been unable to remove it.
So far I've tried Toshiba's Supervisor Password Tool which returned a nice "Access Denied!!!" when trying to remove the password, I've tried entering a few 'Master Passwords' such as 'Toshiba', 'toshiba', 'TOSHIBA', '24Banc81', and 'toshy99', and I've also tried using CMOSPwd-5.0, which seems to only work with 32 bit versions of windows (According to YouTube comments).
I would really appreciate it if someone knew of software like CMOSPwd which could run on 64 Bit versions of Windows, preferably something that can attempt to reveal bios passwords, as I'm pretty sure the BIOS password on the Tecra M10 is stored in EEPROM and clearing the CMOS completely doesn't seem like it'd end well.
I'd much rather attempt something else first instead of going straight to attempting to trip the CMOS Clear jumper, as I'm not really experienced in doing such things.
Thanks for reading.
