Problem How to reset the bios password in ibm thinkpad t23

You may manually have to short circuit a connection on the inside of your laptop, this would require opening up your laptop. Give me a moment while I find some schematics to help you out.

You can reset the BIOS password. There are four ways to reset the BIOS, you can read about at this link.

To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.

In case of your laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD.

Hi,

To unlock the bios password on your laptop, you will need to remove the cmos battery on your laptop for some minutes and insert back, the cmos battery is located on the motherboard of your laptop, once the cmos battery is removed from the motherboard for some minutes, the bios password will be reset, and that fix the problem.

Take care.

If a BIOS or HD lock password you are out of luck.

BIOS password means replacement of the system board. HD password requires replacement of the HD and reinstallation of all software on new drive.

This is a security feature so no one can steal laptops and try to use or sell it.

Hi,
You have 3 choice (i mean, thats all i know:) )

1: Get a new BIOS
2: Get the password from latest user (dont know if laptop yours or not)
3: Get the BIOS Flashed (Which is costly)

There is no way to unlock it without open it ,sorry.
Good luck....

If its the BIOS/CMOS battery .. you are pretty much unless you want to do 1 of the 2.

1) Open it up and remove CMOS batter

2) Or go here

are you getting a date & time error ?. you could always try just resetting the bios.... remove the bios battery AND the battery itself for about five minutes or so. install it all again and boot up.

The power on password is stored on an EEPROM chip and removing the BIOS/CMOS battery won't help.
You need to read the EEPROM chip to get the password.

for solution to your problem (you need to construct an interface hardware and install two programs on a working computer)
