Why won't my BIOS access work?

I cannot access my BIOS. I have tried all the simple ways to do it but will
not work. Are there any EXPERTS in this area? I need to get into BIOS
becasue my computer will not BOOT. It will go to MSDOS and request a
"BUILT-IN HDD PASSWORD" to which I have NO earthly Idea what it is as I never
set one.

If I could access BIOS I think I could reset the passwords. Am I wrong?

Thanks.
 
Take the Toshiba to a Certified Service Center !

FWIW
Laptops are pretty specialized in how they handle boots. You are not
booting into 'setup' and I would suggest going to a Toshiba
dealer/service center near you and getting it fixed. If you are in
Atlanta try Roberts Computer or call 7703959299 and ask them
for a shop in your area. Toshiba is all they service.
Good Luck

Only you know what
motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know the answer to your
question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual or the
motherboard manufacturer's web site doesn't contain the needed
information, try one or more of the following:

How do I access my computer's setup (BIOS)

It will go to MSDOS and request a
"BUILT-IN HDD PASSWORD" to which I have NO earthly Idea what it is as I never
set one.

Password protected hard drives are an option available from some OEMs.
Contact the computer's manufacturer for assistance.
