Resetting a Toshiba BIOS Password
KeyDisk will reset the BIOS password on a lot of Toshiba laptops. http://www.cgsecurity.org/
Older Toshiba laptops can be convinced to boot without their power-on BIOS password by attaching a dongle to the parallel port which crosses a number of the pins. The pin out is:
Pins
1-5-10
2-11
3-17
4-12
6-16
7-13
8-14
9-15
Some Toshiba's can be convinced to bypass the startup BIOS password if you hold down the <LEFT-SHIFT> key while booting the system.
"Toshiba" or "toshiba" is used as a backdoor password for some older systems...probably not yours, but worth a shot.
Other than this, I'm afraid a box and some postage to Toshiba will be the only viable course of action.

many solutions described required to open back panel, if you are not willing to do so, pls return Toshiba authorized service center, because the software you are using to break may not guaranty 100%, if bios fails you will be in trouble.

I did try to look more into the 25 pin connector and it shows a good success rate on clearing the password.
I know you said you weren't technical enough for it, but it literally only involves plugging a pin into each hole it says...these connectors come with wires that are pinned on both sides already and you take the two pins of the wire and plug them into the holes. Like a puzzle really. The only difficult one for you may be the first as it is three pins, so you would have to cut one of the wires in half and splice it with another full one...simple wire stripping and twisting though. If you have a local pc parts supply shop around, or even (gasp) a Fry's and you take the pinout diagram with you, a lot of the guys are nice enough to pin it out for you if you ask them nicely and purchase the connector.
I would definitely try this if the passwords don't work, before spending the money on sending to an authorized Toshiba repair depot to have reset...I can foresee a lot of complications on that one as you acquired the laptop via an estate sale.

you will have to remove the CMOS battery for a minute and then put it back - this will remove any "memory" of passwords.
from another forum..... but you may want to look in the manual
Remove the CMOS battery. You will have to open up the 'clam shell' and remove all of the B25 and F6 screws from the bottom, as well as the B16 and B6 screws under the keyboard. To remove the keyboard, I had to pry up the trim piece that holds the power button and remove three screws. Be careful of the wireless wire leads, as you'll be tempted rip them out!
The CMOS battery will be under the right side of the hand rest, next to the mouse. It has two leads and the battery is in a blue 'bag'.
