SOURCE: Panasonic c-29 toughbook BIOS Password breaking
you have to remove or unplug the cmos battery which is attached to the motherboard inside the laptop, doing this will clear all passwords. If the password clears replace the battery.
Here is some more usefull info if you want to this yourself>
The guts of the machine are usually under the keyboard. If you are okaywith opening up the laptop, you'll need to remove a few screws, thebattery and the hard drive, then carefully pry up the keyboard to gainaccess to the items that the manufacturers say you shouldn't tamperwith. If its just a matter of getting into the bios and theres apassword, you can usually simply remove the battery and leave itwithout power for at least 24hours, then it should reset....doesn'talways work but since most laptops actually do not have a standard cmosbattery, this would be one way to go about it. Of course you could justtry to figure out what the password is, someone has to have put it inthere so they should know what it is, or you could go to http://tcc.toughbook.com/ and get the bios update, which will reset it completely.

The following website contains the needed drivers:
https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pc/cgi-bin/itn/toughbook/dl01.cgi
Select your model of CF-51 Toughbook, but you MUST be specific. There are about nine variations of the CF-51 so you must use the right drivers.
Download the hkeyapp, hkeyset, and hotkey files and unpack all files. Use the default unpack locations. If you download the files for a laptop version that is not your own, when you try to run any of these files the computer will tell you that the file is not for your model. If the files successfully unpack then you know you have the right files.
For hkeyset and hkeyapp you must run the set-up applications in the unpacked folders.
Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager and go to Other Devices.
The Hotkeys will appear as an "Unknown Devices" so if there is more than one, right click and choose "Update Driver".
Select "Install driver from specific location" and direct it to "C:\util2\drivers\hotkey" folder.
The computer will find the file and install the driver after which point you must restart the computer.
Hope this helps. It took me a while to figure this stuff out on my own so hope it speeds up somebody else's attempt.

Hi there
Download drivers for both if you are unsure, one way to tell if its a MK1, look underneath the laptop at the model number, if is says neither MK's its MK1 as it will say if its a MK2.
Saying that the drivers should work on both machine models
Good luck and kind regards
SOURCE: Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 Keyboard Replacement
If memory serves, there are four screws that are removed, that hold the keyboard header on. (The strip of plastic under the LCD screen)
Can't recall at the moment, if there are rubber caps, (Covers), over the screw heads. If so, you just ease up one edge of these, with a small flat tip Jewelers screwdriver.
They are held in place by a glue, that's akin to rubber cement. They should stick right back on, if you keep the glue side clean.
(In otherwords, watch how you set them down, in a safe place. Non-glue side up. Good luck trying to keep the little beggars off of your fingertips, or the screwdriver tip. The glue works real well! lol!)
They made a few variations of the keyboard used.
It may have double-sided sticky tape, or it may have flat lock pegs.
For the version with the stick tape, cut it. You peel the rest of the tape off, after you have the keyboard removed. Then apply new double-sided sticky tape, when installing the new keyboard.
For the version with the lock pegs:
Slide the keyboard forward as much as you can. There are four lock pegs, that help secure it in place.
(Flat tabs of plastic. Two on each side of the keyboard)
Now lift up on the end of the keyboard that is nearest to the LCD screen. Don't go crazy, as there is a cable you have to disconnect!

That won't work. I have RA and can't do delicate stuff - like solder; anymore. Thanks for trying to help.
Oh I'm sorry. I understand, let me find something.
Take a look here.

It's a c29 in guide. If you can reference the two boards and see if they use the same ec hardware then jumping 61 and 63 at ic should reset password.
