System Specs

Looks like it has got a parallel port. Not to judge your daughter, but I don't think she'll be able to do this. I've done this before. Can't remember where I got this from, so I can't give credit to the source (been archived for years); but here:

ONLY WORKS ON TOSHIBA'S I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY BLA BLA But I've tested it, it works fine.

Toshiba Parallel 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
~ where pin 1 is top left, 13 top right, 14 bottom left, 25 bottom right.(as shown below with wonderful ascii art!)
