| 342912 | 2005-04-08 15:18:00 | I recently purchased a used IBM Thinkpad 390 laptop that has its bios protected by a password. Any suggestions how to recover it? | libbyr (7835) | ||
| 342913 | 2005-04-08 20:34:00 | A Google search (www.google.co.nz) comes up with plenty of help. | Greg (193) | ||
| 342914 | 2005-04-08 20:55:00 | Yeah I went through 4 pages of google and yahoo and nothing works.. | libbyr (7835) | ||
| 342915 | 2005-04-08 21:25:00 | Ask the people you bought it form. How do we know its not hot? | pctek (84) | ||

| 342917 | 2005-04-09 03:37:00 | A lot of laptops don't have any easy way to zap BIOS passwords. That's because the second-biggest computer business is in stolen laptops. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 342918 | 2005-04-10 00:22:00 | do a search on google should get a result on IBM. with many (if not all) models it needs a service to be done. a hack is what civilian pple call it, it means a some chip or such that needs to be soldered (if I recall). Go to ebay.com and do a narrow search like "thinkpad password" This should give you some idea of the required. The hard thing is NZ prob wont have these things.. so u may need to look abroad. Edit Google results (www.google.co.nz) Ebay results (search.ebay.com) |
