Satellite 1800-S254

I bought a used satellite 1800-S254 and when I turn it on it asks for a password.Is there anyway for me to fix this or is this a repair center only fix?

Sounds like the bios password that will require a repair from a Toshiba AUthorized Service Center or some place like http://www.aqstech.com/.  It's going to cost about a hundred bucks or more to get this fixed.  I suggest getting the password from the place of purchase. 

 

Please note that Toshiba will more than likely require a proof of purchase before performing such a repair as a security measure due to the number of stolen laptops that are protected by this password.  They won't take the chance of allowing someones private data being released.
