if you have discs for all,pull out the hard drives,buy new ones,reinstall them then reboot with your discs,if you dont know how to do it,ask a teenager,they know everything about computers,make a couple good passwords,with numbers and letters,never type a complete word"like,n2w4w6y8o0r2k4y"newyorky2468024,all together,change them every 30 days and have someone teach you how to stay safe from hackers,do not download anything that someone asks you to download,only download things that you search for
You will have to "clear the CMOS" to remove the password. This involves taking the laptop apart far enough that you can remove the little battery in the motherboard. Once the battery has been out for about 10 minutes, stick it back in and the motherboard will have forgotten the password. Be very careful when working on the inside of the laptop, the plastic parts are usually very fragile and you need to remove the ac adapter and battery before you begin. You also have to keep yourself static electricity free by periodically touching something that is metal and grounded.
Good luck.
try using 12345 or 123456 and if that doesnt work try using your voicemail password...if none of these work you can call your cell phone company and ask them to reset your password and start all over from scratch.
Per Lenovo Support (they purchased IBM thinkpad a couple years ago)
ote: Do Not Forget Your Supervisor Password! If you forget your Supervisor password, there is no way to reset your password to enter the BIOS configuration. Setting a supervisor password automatically sets the hard drive password. If you do not remember your supervisor password you must have the system serviced to have the system board and hard drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and this repair is not covered under the warranty.
