The documentation for my Toshiba Tecra says that if you set a 'hardware
password' (as they call it) and forget it you need to take it to a Toshiba
service center to get it reset, if I remember correctly.  I'm assuming this
means there is a jumper or something you can pull/set.

Well Toshiba would be one place, I guarantee it will cost a lot.
Replacement laptop displays are usually around the same price as the
laptop.
