A little searching and I found this.

Simply put, you use a hex editor on a floppy disk to "Change the first five bytes of sector 2 (boot sector is sector 1) to: 4B 45 59 00 00", or you jump some pins in a db25 connector (printer port).
I'm sort of impressed that Toshiba went a little farther to protect the password, my sister's Gateway Solo she bought had an unknown passoword in it's bios, but it just dissappeared when I was able to update the bios. So much for security there. ;)
Hope this helps.

If that doesn't work, maybe you could try opening the computer and pull out the small battery once and put it back in-that will erase the password.
