Toshiba Satellite A350D BIOS password

I was trying to remove the bios password(I knew it) through the bios. I ended up making the new password blank(?) by just hitting enter thinking this would disable it, not nothing works for the password and I'm locked out.

I've tried clearing the CMOS, but I cannot find the jumper to short it, and can't find the CMOS battery if there even is one.

Any help?

HOW TO REMOVE/CHANGE THE BATTERY IN TOSHIBA SATELLITE A350D

1. Remove the battery (side latch release) and hard drive.
The only screw that holds it down is marked F-4 on the cover.
(look for the panel with the 2" circle, that is the HD).
Use the white pull tab to move it left then upwards.
It should move with little effort.
Be careful not to loose the screw from the HD panel.

2. Remove all screws annotated F6 from the bottom bezel with a Pt. 2 screwdriver.
(from my count there was less that a 15 ).
Depending on the screwdriver, there are times where you might have
to push the screwdriver down a bit to get in contact with the thread.
Just be careful not to strip the threading.

3. Remove the "B25" screw located near the heat sink-fan vent.
Somewhat carefully take your hand, and lift the bottom bezel up enough
to disconnect (about 1-2 inches from surface) the battery
with your index and midde finger.
Look at they way the battery is run, and seated in the plasic clips.
With the bottom semi-open, plug in the replacement battery, and
re-seat it in underneath the white ribbon cable, and clips
on the housing per the original.

4. Replace all screws (less than a ton).

5. Re-seat the hard drive, by sliding it in first with the metal tab
under the plastic housing, to the left, then puling it to the right.
Replace the panel with the one, shorter, F-4 screw.
Reseat the battery.


i hope this helps!
 
I found out a backdoor password, I entered in the password wrong 3 times, and I saw 4 out of 5 characters from the hash, so i did process of elimination, and wa la, the first character sequence i tried worked thanks to a password hash program i found!
