Thanks all!

At the BIOS password prompt ("PASSWORD = "), press and release the following keys, one after another:
Ctrl, Tab, Ctrl, Enter

Do you see any response code?

If you enter the code wrong 3x does it show a hash to be decrypted?

No, it powers off after 3 failed attempts. Here is a picture of the password screen.

Most Toshibas you can short a location which erases the info on the eeprom the problem is its hard to locate where to do it I have done it on many models there should be some way of making a hash code come up then it can be decrypted also

I don't know the vintage of this radius, but I don't think modern laptops are susceptible to the short.

I removed a shield and found a "MX25L6473E" SOIC8 chip. I will get a read on it and see if I can find the password.
