I think you have more problems than a factory restore. If the screen is white. But this may help: http://john.ccac.rwth-aachen.de:8000/ftp/mirrors/ps2supersite.homedns.org/pccbbs/mobiles/570usref.pdf ORhttp://www.ehow.com/how_4924378_restore-ibm-computers-factory-settings.html

To reset the BIOS read the information from this link.

In case of your IBM laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper.

Hi
You'll probably need to take it to a reputable repair person or check my website www.micromend.com. The reason is that a program such as ERD Commander needs to be used to eliminate the password and then to restore the laptop is a 10 cd set with Windows and all the drivers. Good luck

try to download a hirens utility software for password removal from this link, http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd this is a bootable cd and have option to remove password.

If you have forgotten your BIOS or system password, there are no software tricks or magical gimmicks that will get the password cleared. Laptops are different in that they are designed to not work with “backdoors” etc. for security reasons. There is one true way that works most of the time and that is hardware.
The Cmos (RTC) battery that is mounted on the motherboard in most cases holds the key, if your motherboard has the battery that is connected to the motherboard by using a two wire socket that plugs into the MOBO, then here is the procedure.
On the motherboard where the battery plugs into, you will see two pins sticking straight up, these engage the plug on the battery side. These two pins have to be “shorted” and then the motherboard powered up for approx. 30 seconds, then power down the system and replace the Cmos battery and reboot. Your password problem should be cleared up. The best way to “short” the pins is get another cmos battery and cut the wires from the battery part, bare the ends and twist together, this will short the pins. Make sure you tape the connection good on the jumper you just made….don’t want to touch anything else with powered up bare wires. Good luck.

It most likely will work, but the BIOS (might be too old) may not allow you to access the full capacity of the hard disk.
You would normally lose approx. 10% of the capacity when you format the hard disk.

Check the connections and the drive settings (jumpers) to make sure its set to "Master, Stand alone". The IBM PC's autodetect's the HDD installed so if it doesn't read the HDD, there is a hardware problem.
Maybe is the Thinkpad interface faulty and the HDD you replaced is fine.

Hi Jenelle I think we will need more information to be sure to fix this problem, like the model of the printer and are you trying to connect to it with USB cable or through network (with LAN or with wifi). in most cases anyway make sure the wires are connected correctly (USB) and download the below link to identify and install your printer if it's not installed correctly. press the identify now button after connecting it with USB.

First, make sure your drive is bootable. Then, enter the bios and change the boot sequence.

Boot your laptop with the Windows installation DVD, and you can reset the password easily with this trick: http://www.forgotwindowspassword.com/reset-lost-windows-password-without-reset-disk/ The tutorial requires a bit complicated steps. If you're a computer novice, you'd better call a friend who is a computer geek and ask him to help you remove the password.
