IBM Thinkpad Password Removal Service
Thinkpad Password FAQ:
  The IBM Thinkpad can have up to three passwords:
Power-on (POP) Password Removal
- This password is required to turn on the PC. Without this password, the laptop can be turned on but can not be accessed.
Supervisor (SVP/BIOS) Password Removal
- This password is inside a chip on the motherboard. It can not be recovered by shorting the jumbers,
etc. This password is required to access the BIOS. Changing BOOT sequence (booting from a CD or hard drive or
floppy), date/time and other specs on the systems, requires this password.
You have to have a special electronic device to read this password from the chip and remove it.
Hard Drive (HDP) Password Removal
- This password is inside a chip on the Hard Drive.
It is time consuming and costly to recover and remove this password. the best option is to replace the Hard Drive. 80% of the time the same password that is set for the BIOS, is set for the Hard Drive.
What can be done?
- Is your Thinkpad LOCKED with a Supervisor/BIOS Password?
- Ready to give up looking for that magical back door? (It doesn't exist)
- There's NO MAGIC to work, just good, basic Electronic Technology.
