It may take some time, but I am almost certain that you can do something about this and I will do some research to find out for sure. I have thunderstorms coming through my area, so I don't know how long it will take, but I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

P.S. Hold onto that computer!

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?
