Greetings all,i have a toshiba satellite m505-s4940~ that had a bios password on it, so i removed the bios (cmos)? battery to try to reset it like that...as far as i know it worked, but now i get bthis screen saying that the " CMOS date/time is not set, press F1 to run setup or press F2 toload default values and continue" ...BUT when i press either or any keys nothing happens...
i have tried to run a hyrens disk to no avail, and i took all power away for a long count of 60, again nothing but the same old s@it...any help or suggestions would be greatly welcomed! thank you all in advance.

Hi,

It only means that you'll need to set the time inside BIOS to the correct one.
- Enter BIOS and go to System Setup menu.
- Look for Date and Time. you'll need to use your arrow keys in BIOS since mouse doesn't work in it.
- After setting the correct date and time press F10 to save all the changes and reboot the laptop.
- If it would still give you the same error try and reseat the CMOS battery and if that won't still resolve the issue you may need to replace the battery itself.
