Password Needed

Hello my girlfriend owed me money so she gave me her old Toshiba A105 S2201 laptop but she has forgotten the pass word as computer is pretty old. Turns on good and monitor has great color. Can you tell me how to reset the password. I cannot afford to buy any program to assist me though. boo hoo. I am a disabled Senior and would love to use the computer.

Unfortunately there is no way to get or reset the password without a "Password Reset Disc" which must be made beforehand. Your best bet would be to restore the computer to factory defaults with the restore discs that originally came with the computer.
