Laptop Boot Password - Fresh Install

Here is my issue:

I turn on my laptop. I see the word:

Toshiba

Then, instantly, I get this:

Password:

I have no password and never set one. I have no idea what happened to this computer and to be honest, I am so fed up with it I no longer care. I want to put a fresh copy of Windows 7 on this machine.

To hell with my data.

I cannot access any sort of boot menu; the F keys to nothing. All I get is:

Password:

What do I do?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

I can do literally nothing with this computer. It turns on a immediately goes to the - Password: screen.

I just tried that and nothing. It simply attempts to put in a ton of Zeros into the password entry spot. AA7

No, it does absolutely nothing other than show me the front boot page (with no options for the F keys) and then an all black screen that simply asks for a password. AA7

Looks like the BIOS BOOT Password.

Do a search for "Default Toshiba BIOS Password" and try what you find.

If not, search for "Reset BIOS Defaults" on that model.

Believe me, it has crossed my mind. And Toshiba will not help me. It is out of warranty. AA7
