Toshiba Tecra (running XP) black screen with flashing cursor. Help please

[Lizzy111]

Every time I turn on my Toshiba Tecra A2 that runs XP, it goes onto a black screen with cursor flashing. It has the word Password just before the flashing Password word. I cannot remember any password for this. When I try what I think might have been the password, after 3 attempts, the laptop switches off. I try to turn it on with pressing F2, F8, F12 but it goes to the same black screen. I have also tried inserting Microsoft Office , Student and Teacher Edition 2003 into the cd drive, but nothing appears on the screen.
Help please.

We cannot assist with the bypassing of passwords.

It is very difficult, if not nearly impossible, to bypass the bios password.
