That's one thing everyone should be aware of.  I have shown my son where to find my passwords for my computer & encrypted files.

You might try guessing things he might use, like Mi$tuff, first.  Not a lot of hope there, but you might get lucky.

Good luck,

Subject: [PCBUILD] Bios password?????

Hi,
My brother passed away a week ago and left us a computer with no passwords.  It is a Toshiba computer running xp 2005.  At startup it boots into a screen that says 'enter your HDD password' it never gets to the windows boot screen.  I'm being told that the only thing I can do is send it to Toshiba and they want $425 to fix it.  Any ideas on what to do or do I have another paper weight for my desk?
