Resetting a Toshiba Laptop BIOS or Administrator Password. The intent of this article was to show you how to reset a Toshiba laptop back to factory settings, but, the topic of resetting passwords will always surface. I’ll cover it briefly and possibly go into more depth in another post.
Information There may come a time when you would either need or simply want to 'start over' with the software image on your computer. This 'start over' (or 'Recovery') will restore the software on your computer back to its original factory condition. The down side of this process is that you will LOSE ALL DATA and programs that were not preinstalled at the factory. There are several ways to perform the recovery process. One method is to use CD or DVD. disks or USB flash drive media created especially for this purpose.
You can make recovery disks, with blank CD or DVD disks that you provide, using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator utility. A hi-capacity USB flash drive can also be used and is required on machines that do not have a DVD drive. You can make as many 'sets' of recovery media as you like (please note that the media is specific to YOUR machine and cannot be used to ' recover' other computers.) Toshiba recommends you keep at least one set of media to use in case of an emergency. For additional information about recovery options and creating recovery media on laptops with Windows 7 and earlier, go to knowledge base article. This article includes videos showing how to create USB and DVD recovery media. For additional information about recovery options and creating recovery media on laptops with Windows 8, go to knowledge base article. NOTE: Not all machines offer both CD and DVD options.
DVDs provide much larger storage capacity thus requiring fewer disks to make up the set. Opening TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator: Windows 7. To open the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator click on the Start button in the lower left hand portion of the screen. Steps to create Recovery Media: NOTE: Windows 7 screens are shown below, once in the recovery media creator, the process is the same Windows 8 is very similar. After locating and clicking on ' TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator', select ' Yes' when prompted with the question, 'Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer?' . Within the ' Media Selection' area place checkmarks in the boxes next to the options you desire.
The ' System Recovery Media' option will make a disk set or USB flash drive (depending on selection) that will perform a complete recovery of your software. Some models include the option to create ' Application Disks' (as seen below). This option will allow you to create a disk set you can use to reinstall programs you specifically select from a list of applications originally shipped with the computer.
NOTE: The 'Media Set' section allows you to select the type of media you prefer, the example shows the default selection; DVDs. The ' information' box indicates what type of disks or USB, and how many of them (discs), you will need in order to create the media you’ve selected. NOTE: Take the time to label the disks as you create them in order to avoid confusion later. Checking the ' Verify' box will allow the program to check the data as it is being written to the disks. Selecting this option will take longer for the application to create the disks but will ensure the disks are in good working order when completed. Place a blank disk into your CD-ROM/DVD drive or connect a USB flash drive then select the ' Create' button on the lower right of the page. Follow the on-screen instructions as you move through the process inserting new disks as the program requests them. Lakshya marathi serial youtube.

Sorry for refresh this topic, by i have probably this same problem. I have prepare to update bios in my customer laptop that is Toshiba Satellite a200-1hv and this upgrade operation start without my confirmation and unfortunately he restart and now i have dead notebook.

I hope this is helpful for others with a bios file that doesn't fit on a diskette (&/or with an USB stick that is 'too big') I also noticed that quite some Toshiba Satellite L550 users couldn't restore the bios.
I managed to unbrick a Toshiba Satellite L550-13K: Downloaded Phoenix Crisis Bios Recovery using the mediafire link & extracted it Downloaded the 1.90-WIN BIOS update from, extracted using 7-zip and renamed twAA190A.ROM to BIOS.WPH Having read all the posts on this site I used the latest GParted CD to delete the FAT32 partition on my 16Gb USB stick and create a 1GB FAT partition. (Any Windows partition prog would probably work too, but GParted is free and not that difficult to use) Restarted Windows XP, plugged in the USB stick, ran the WINCRIS.EXE.
This only gave me the USB stick as 'Removable Disk'. I left 'Create MINIDOS Crisis Disk' selected and clicked 'Start' WINCRIS reported success. I checked the partition & only found 3 files there: BIOS.WPH, MINIDOS.SYS & PHLASH16.EXE Unfortunately the BIOS.WPH was a 1kb dummy file, leftover from previous tries - I just copied the correct (2.1 Mb) one over it. Somehow reason WINCRIS reformatted the drive to a capacity of 31.9 Mb! But it did work anyway (see below).
After that I just followed the instructions from this thread: unplug power (battery wasn't present), insert USB stick, hold Fn + b keys, replug power, press power button: fan noise + 2 secs USB activity, after about 5 secs another 15 secs USB activity, after couple of minutes fan noise stopped. Can't remember if the PC rebooted automatically after that but boot into Windows it did! For those who would try this too: I tried to make a bootable (?) CD using a virtual floppy (created with vfd) which I formatted with WINCRIS. Unfortunately WINCRIS didn't want to use my (virtual) High Density diskette, so I used a standard capacity one. I used the 'bootable CD' option of Nero v6.5 with that 'boot' diskette, & just added the BIOS.WPH to the CD. Anyway, easier to buy (or lend) a small USB stick than to try to make a CD work. Regarding my previous post: I checked with GParted and found a 16GB FAT16 partition on the pendrive.
So the WINCRIS format ignored my partitioning of the pendrive. But MSDOS can't access FAT volumes larger than 2 Gb ( and 4Gb is the max size for FAT16, see ) My best guess to why Crisis Bios Recovery worked anyway: the File Allocation just 'wraps around' (adresses after 2Gb get 'translated' to the 2Gb adress space), but the 'wrap around' didn't kick in because I only used a very small part of a freshly formatted pendrive. Would be nice to hear from someone who knows for certain if this is what really happens! I tried unsucessfully to find a program that would let me inspect the bootsector.
So I deleted all three files from the pendrive and used it to boot another PC. Message: 'Flash crisis recovery disk. Remove and press any key' So it seems certain that WINCRIS.exe puts a (custom) bootsector there - you have to use it. Btw, if you can't reproduce the recovery procedure: you MUST keep holding Fn + b (or whatever key combo works on your type of machine) while plugging in the power and pressing the power button.
Hello franbugallo, btw - which Toshiba are you trying to 'unbrick'? Do you get the loud fan noise? Because that is the indication that the Phoenix crisis code is looking for the recovery disk (or usb drive). If the fan stays silent you are probably using an incorrect key combination. Did you format the USB drive with WINCRIS.exe and did you remove the battery from the laptop? Did you use an USB drive. I have a Toshiba Satellite A350D-005, and when I went to upgrade the bios from V1.5 to V1.8 via the download file specifically for my laptop model from the Toshiba site, the WinPlash program unexpectedly crashed part way through.
I have tried to reflash the bios using various versions of Crisis using a USB drive as well as a USB floppy, with no luck. By holding fn+b, there is a noticeable difference where the fan kicks into high speed, and the usb device begins to read for a period of time. The laptop never shuts off however, so after about half an hour I try to unplug it and restart.
The result is the same before, black screen, nothing else. I have tried taking the hard drive and dvd burner out as well, still no change. I have plugged the hard drive into a desktop system via sata cables and was able to navigate to the Temp folder located in the windows directory that contained the WinPhlash folder, and from this I have been able to recover the Bios backup that it supposedly made.

I have tried to reflash with the backup, no difference as well. I did manage to open the log that winphlash created, and from what I can gather, it starts flashing the bios around block 18 and works its way down, and appears to have frozen around block 4. Any suggestions for what else I can possibly try to save my laptop? Model Name: EQUIUM P200-178 Model No. PSPB2E-001002AV Hello, I wanted to upgrade my BIOS laptop under Windows to the latest version provided on the Toshiba support website for my laptop (1.70).
I've downloaded the bios and the windows update program. But when I've stated it, it runs automotically to the backup and then the update. While updating the utility was freezed and didn't respond. I've waited for a long time but the update never finished. After switching off the laptop, I couldn't start it again.
The power led just blinked. Reading this forums provided some information, but no one could help. I can start the laptop in BIOS recovery mode holding Fn + B keys, but don't have access to the bootable USB (usn stick led don't blink) with the bios file.

The DVD-ROM led was blinking but didn't start the update from the bootable CD-ROM. Can you please Provide support? Is there any Jumper to set to get the recobery working for USB? Is it possible to change/reprogram the BIOS again? Or should I send the hole laptop for repaire? Thank you in advance for your help and support.
