wyha Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 My friend has just got an IBM Thinkpad T22 but he has lost the "power on password" that was provided. He has got the shop to try fixing it but they werent able to. They tried removing all the batteries, but that didnt work. They said the only way to fix the lappy was to use an IBM Boot CD. Does any one know where i can get this CD or if there is another way to remove the Power On Password?? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiNZ Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I believe there is not a lot you can do . Can the Bios be flashed on that model ? This site may help http://www.labmice.net/articles/BIOS_hack.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
