Bypass BIOS password set by faulty Toshiba firmware on Satellite A55-S1065 laptop?

As far as I know, you cannot reset the bios password of the Toshiba laptop just by removing the CMOS battery. You need to reset the contents of the flash EEPROM that stores several values like the password, serial number, MAC adress, OEM numbers. I don't believe that this is possible outside of a Toshiba workshop.

Toshiba ASP Support may give you the Response Code for free (with enough explanations on your side). See also toshiba bios password solution for Centrino/P4 laptops, maybe still be pertinent to your model as regarding the Response Code

_{If googling comes up with the website Laptop Rebirth, be advised that it does not work any more, so you would be wasting your money.}

Old post, but I found this searching for how to reset the BIOS password on a Satellite Pro U400 so in case it helps anyone else out...

I googled for what the CMOS battery looked like and then for a pic of the motherboard, found what appeared to be the battery, lo and behold it was just off the side of the access panel for the RAM etc, disconnected the battery, powered the laptop up, turned it off, reconnected the battery and no more BIOS password. Picture of the connector below, that's the RAM just below it which I removed before messing with the battery

Obviously you want to be careful yaddayadda, but this laptop was going to be scrapped if I couldn't fix it so pft :)
