You'll need to be able to boot from cd or floppy, though.

Not that I'm flaming you but you obviously didn't attempt to read through that above site. Go ahead and click on it and read it.

Specifically,

"If this doesn't work, you can try to build the Toshiba Parallell loopback.
To make a simple device that you connect to your parallell port, a lot of Toshiba computers remove the password when you boot it up. The device, named "loopback" by some, could be made out of any parallell wire with 25pins connectors (db25). You should connect these pins: 1-5-10, 2-11, 3-17, 4-12, 6-16, 7-13, 8-14, 9-15, 18-25"
