Hard Reset Password On My Toshiba Satellite C55d-b5212 Laptop.

Someone got into my laptop and added a boot password to my laptop. How do I hard reset the boot password on my TOSHIBA SATELLITE C55D-B5212 laptop? I know there are usually contacts or jumpers on the motherboard somewhere but I don't know where they are on this particular laptop. Does anyone know where they are on this model? Alternatively, Does anyone know of a password generator for this model? I'm stuck until I can bypass this step in the boot process. Someone help, Please! Thank You!
