Apparently there is no easy way to get past the bios password on a toshiba A65. The system has a known problem where it suddenly asks for a bios password. A bios update is necessary to fix it, but of course you can't get to the bios to update it.
Since the system has a broken usb port, and I have insurance, I took out the hard drive and backed up all my data and reformatted the HD and I'm sending it to Safeware for repair. I imagine they will have to replace the motherboard to fix the broken usb ports, so the problem should go away. If not, they probably know how to get around the bios password. First thing I will do when I get it back is update the BIOS!
