Toshiba’s from 2-5 years can randomly get BIOS passwords if the BIOS wasn’t updated. Nowadays most bios pw (challenge/ response ) are insanely easy to remove via keygen or failing that some hw method, eeprom on the board itself most time i only need bios to boot from cd/dvd and re-install, usually on encrypted boot in which case sometimes it’s easier to take the hdd out, ofc it will fall to 2nd,3rd boot option (cd/dvd), erase partitions + mbr through linux, put hdd back in, cd in then restart it will fail to boot from hdd and just start up cd, obvious but i’ve seen plenty of people wnot think this.
