When your Toshiba L775 is not showing the F2 option on the first screen after you have pressed the power button, disconnect the charger, take out the battery, open the small plastic cover as shown in pictures bellow and remove the small battery for about 15-20 seconds. After that, make all the operations in revers order and power on the laptop: now the options F2 and F12 should be in the right place so you can enter the BIOS or the boot menu.
Dood, did you even TRY this? Christ, removing the CMOS battery hasn't reset a BIOS password for about 10 years (before 2003). Jesus, the junk people will jam up on the Internet pretending to be an expert.
ReplyDeleteThis unit requires specific jumpers to be shorted. Perhaps, if you wanted to be really useful, you could actually tell what jumpers to short...looks like on the L775/L775D models the B500/XXX jumpers have been relabeled or replaced.
remove the CMOS battery....I see that stupid ancient tidbit all the time...and lemme be frank, it basically like saying "Stick a screwdriver in your eyeball which will clear the password" It is both worthless, incorrect, and anyone doing it is an idiot
No, will not reset the BIOS password ( and I'm not talking about that in my post) ... it will reset the BIOS only, in case that its stuck on the initial screen and you cannot access it via F2 ...
