Perhaps you can still create a set of "Factory Restore" dvd's from the on board Toshiba programs. Not sure if you need Admin status to do that.
You may also be able to access the Tobhiba Factory Recovery partition on the hard drive and do a full restore. This is accomplished by pressing certain keys at bootup. Check your user manual to find out what keys and what to do.
