If you can boot, it is possible to get a password with the same checksum
and enter the Bios. The checksum value is stored in Cmos. If you create a
recovery disk, this value is stored after the word "KEY" in the 1 first
sector (sector 0 is boot sector).

To crack Toshiba password (Award, AMI and some others models), you can
try CmosPwd (Dos/Win9x, WinNT, Linux versions) avaible at
