Pass on bios password models that have it enabled on boot
If its a password protecting the bios options, that can be removed using software

That was a few days ago, I don't remember if I upgraded firmware I have the ssd toolbox and the Optimiser is run and fine + the tuner The opimizer states that the latest firmware must bbe on it to run ,and it completed whatever it does My firmware listing looks different than yours My drive may have...

I checked on the most common wd 7200rpm drives and updated my post you doubled your old drive throughput And of course the access time is instant on ssd's ,that was why users went for the 7200rpm drives over the slower 5400 Oh and I paid $250 with tax for my Intel so it was more expensive that your ...

What the model # of your old drive blair?
Most of the newest 7200rpm drives are around @ 62 MB/sec
And yes with ssd's we need to find out what sata Toughbooks use the -2 spec
There are cf-19/74/52/30 that might all be limited to -1

Note that the sata-1 interface is reducing performance,in comparison to the same ssd in my Thinkpad with a sata-2 interface
Your average 115MB/s
Mine 170MB/s
The throughput is still double a 7200rpm hard drive
My previous Seagate Momentus XT hybrid hard drive was rated @83mb/s btw

No upgrading as it's soldered in
Only option is to buy a bare mk4 or mk5 ,and swap your good parts over

Did you download old watcher drivers ?

Does your cell phone data provider even support or allow this old modem on their network
Technology especialy cell phone networks changes quickly ,this is quite old

No reason to run 64 bit, and that is the issue ,Toyo had issues when he tried
Stick with 32bit

That shows how important the keys are
I don't remember ever using them myself lol

Bad news
Reflasing bios on the newer toughbooks does not reset the password ,you must look elsewhere
The bios resetting utilitys and common passwords have been atempted as well
0 success
Send to Heartland Services, pay out what they want to get it going
Or
Use it as a parts unit
