If you need to wipe the drive, then do it, you don't need a password to do it. Run diskpart and clean it!
Have you tried this?

Thanx for responding. OK, I have and will use DBAN for the "wipe" hoping that the HDD encryption will not interfere (demand a "passcode"). Should that be accomplished, I'll then install a new and different operation system. So, I don't think going back to "factory reset" is what I'm needing/wanting to do?

No, not worried about the password...per se. I just needed to get around the HDD's password in order to install different O.S. From what I garnered in/from the forums in which I posted, the consensus was DBAN was the way to go! It wouldn't eliminate the passcode, but would eliminate it from 'asking" for it. (It a rather long synapses). Anyway, the friend solved the dilemma for me...he pawned off the laptop!! LOL LOL. And my way to "conquer" this problem will be to avoid (as I'll tell everyone else to) Toshiba products!! As I do understand their "reasoning" for the passcode, it's also a ploy to render their HDD's useless in hopes that you'll buy more of their products. FAT CHANCE...for me, anyways!!
