I've talked about the dongle with some other people, and it's important to point at that it works for some older Toshiba models - but not for newer ones. | |

Neither solutions will work on the laptop. Using keydisk.exe would require the system to be able to boot ("no operating system can be booted..."). Also backdoor passwords won't work (trust me, I've tried them all) because Toshiba themselves state that "no password that will satisfy the password request." | |
