I have been given a laptop by a friend to look at. She said the other day when she went to turn it on it said there was a problem and needed to restore to an earlier date. After doing that she could not log into either account. She is 100% certain the passwords are correct. The laptop is one one of them ones you get help with buying from the school. It is her daughters laptop and not the schools. The laptop is a Toshiba satellite pro L450D-12x

So I just though a Windows password reset disk would do it. When I went to go into the BIOS I was asked for password. Until she able to ring the helpline in the morning we do not know it. As it is not my laptop I don't want to have to look at the motherboard for a BIOS reset.

The problem I am having at the moment is since trying to get into the BIOS every time I boot up the laptop I get asked for the BIOS password. I can't get past it. How can I get past that and let it boot into the user accounts screen? None of the functions keys are helping.
 
Take out the battery on the laptops motherboard (the motherboard battery the small silver one) and then take out the motherboard reset pin on the motherboard. Wait 5 minutes then put the battery and the reset pin back in and restart the laptop.

This will reset the bios and remove the bios password in the process.

Hope this helps.
