The password is on the BIOS to keep you from changing things in the system.

Hello...
You will need to contact Toshiba to reset this password. It is designed to prevent laptop theft. Unfortunately, it also blocks you when you forget your own password. Toshiba will want to see proof of ownership before they help you.

Sorry to be blunt but hard drive passwords require an expensive hardware solution to remove them. ($1800 to $2500)
The hard drive manufacturers will not remove them.
