One can reset their Compaq PC's start up password by removing and returning the CMOS battery on the system board or shorting its terminals. This will cause the computer to lose all BIOS settings including the start up password.

Depends on the model. Some are easily bypassed and others require programs to generate a unique unlock code. Dell's are notorious for having their passwords stored on a non-volatile chip hard wired to the motherboard. This prevents removal of the CMOS battery as a form of password removal.

How do you unlock a Toshiba laptop password?

The best way to unlock or reset your password would be to use the Windows Setup DVD that should have come with your laptop. If you didn't buy the computer brand new, you need to contact the person you bought it from to get the password so that you can login and change it to something you will remember. If you did buy it brand new, but don't have the Setup DVD, contact Toshiba. They can verify that it's your registered laptop and help you with resetting your password.
