you can call Toshiba and if you have proof of ownership they have a master
password for the bios.

Well ... There's this:

A bit expensive, at over $100 counting shipping.
There's replacing the security-chip.
Again, expensive and takes soldering.
Or, sending in the laptop to have the security-chip replaced.
(Same thing.)

You might try "Toshiba" as a backdoor password.
Or, try holding down the left-shift-key during boot.
On many Toshiba laptops that bypasses the password.
