Toshiba Sat Pro R50-B BIOS Password

[robyholmes]

Hi All,

 

I have a number of Toshiba Sat Pro R50-B Laptops as the supervisor password seems to be a real pain on the lot of them. Each time I come to enter it or even set it I have problems.

 

I have one laptop with a supervisor password set. However I can't for the life of me work out how you enter it. Hold F2 while rebooting allows me in to a ready only version of BIOS but no box to enter the password exists. Other toshiba laptops use INS to enter the password during boot but had no luck with that either. Del or Esc don't seem to do anything either.

 

I know I can likly reset it inside the laptop but I'd like to know if there is a way of entering it to unlock the BIOS or is it a one time deal.

 

Thanks, Rob

Would this work?

I'll give that a go tomorrow. I can get in to BIOS just not found a way to enter the supervisor password. We'll see if this route prompts for it.

We have this, you cant mash or hold the F2 key, you have to wait for the splash and press F2 at the right time, just once.

Ok so the above video restarting it and entering UFEI works to get you in to BOIS but still doesn't ask for a password. So I can see all the settings but can't change any. So its the same as pressing F2 at startup. I can get in just can't enter a password to unlock the settings.

 

Going to try and install a BOIS update and see if that helps.

BIOS update applied and now pressing 'INS' during POST allows you to enter the supervisor password and unlock setup or the boot menu!

 

At last a solution.

The F2 at the same time as the Toshiba splash screen worked for me.

 

thanks

INS at splash screen after a restart didn't work for me. Only after a shutdown, or a power off (battery and power lead out). INS after power reconnected worked every time.
