So I found a nice toshiba A105 4547 at a pawnshop. has fingerprint Identification, dual core processor etc. Anyway, I installed XP and dual booted with Ubuntu linux on. My XP recently caught a nasty piece of spyware and blue screened. Now whenever the laptop reboots, it asks for a bios password and/or fingerprint. In my zeal for a good deal, I didn't notice any password initially. Anyone know where I can find information on recovering and/or disabling the password? I am outside of my return period to the pawn shop.
Note: resetting the cmos via yanking the batteries does not work on this model. I looked underneath the mylar flaps below the ram modules with no luck.
