The BIOS password on a Toshiba Satellite M55 is changed by entering the bios while tapping the F2 key at start-up. The password menu is selected, the current password entered, and a new one typed in.

How do you lock the IBM laptop t43?

A physical cable lock port (like a Targus cable lock which secures the laptop to a table to prevent theft) is next to the T43's USB ports on the left side. It looks like a vertical slot.To prevent access to the T43 at Boot up, you can set a BIOS password that will require you to enter the password as soon as you power up . To set the password, Hit F1 when you are starting the laptop and change the password from the BIOS menu. Important, unlike a PC, if you forget the T43's BIOS password ... no one can reset or recovery it.If you are using Windows, simply set password protection on the Windows Screensaver.
