I can't feaking believe this!
I buy the Winderz 7 family pack upgrade. The install was a pain to get a clean install and get the product key to work.
BUT! I finally get all that worked out and decide to update all the drivers. I go to Toshiba's website and download the latest updates. The first one is a BIOS Flash.
I read the change log (yes, some of us actually do that), one thing that caught my eye was this:
Guess what, first reboot after the flash and now it wants a freaking password. Their solution? Take it to an authorized Toshiba Dealer to get if fixed for free, until December 10, 2010.
That is absolutely unacceptable, they left a KNOWN bad BIOS flash on their website and now limit the time frame to have it resolved.
I for one will NEVER buy another Toshiba product because of this incident.

You'll notice that the second part in 2007 fixed the system from setting an arbitrary password.Version 1.60 - 2007-10-06
* Changed the logo.
* A workaround was implemented to prevent a password from automatically being set by the computer.
