good luck with that. Most laptops have the information for the bios on a EPROM chip that stores it permanently, so trying to remove the bios battery will not work. You could try contacting the manufacturer or do a search on something like google and see if there is a hack to get around that. I have heard of different ones but have never tried any myself so I can not say if they actually work or not. But the manufacturer may have a over-ride password for you to get in.

Try removing the hard drive. It may be a hard drive password and not a boot password.

i think it was toshiba,

There was a place you can jump on the MB that erases the cmos,

the one i did was not jumpers, it was to jump one solder spot to another.

id try google for further investigation on such method
