Satellite A200 – updated bios and now will no longer recognize my password!

by ling ling ling . Updated 14 years, 10 months ago

I updated bios on Toshiba satellite A200-09V PSAE3C-09V08C
after downloading the updated bios from toshiba and installing it whenever I boot up it will no longer recognize my password

I found this bug bulletin on toshiba:

This is very frustrating, as there is no way to install the update to fix this if I can not get into windows

I get prompted for password no matter how I try to boot and it will not recognize my password. Apparently updating the bios has reset my password.

This is a pretty old laptop with expired warranty, but it is not fair that I should have to buy a new motherboard or pay service centre if this is due to toshiba bug in bios

Please advise

Kind thanks
