Restore Toshiba 0 key not working

[aca5207]

My husband put a password on our old toshiba laptop to lend it to a friend. Only he forgets the password. We tried reformatting as we did that for an issue before. We tried the 0 key and it beeps but nothing after that, we tried F11, F10, F8, and f12 and none give us a factory reset option. We do not have any disks. Is the computer just shot now?

Google for the specific model #. You should be able to find the manual for it. That will tell you what key to enter the BIOS, or bring up the Restore function.

it says use the disk in the manual. It never came with disks, and i reformatted it once before using fsomething before my goof husband put a stupid password on it. Is the computer just shot now.
