Which Password? Bios Password? Hard Drive Password? Windows Welcome Screen Login Password?
Which Operating System? Windows XP? Windows Vista? Windows 7?
OK,
if you are running Windows 7, Microsoft tightened security on it so
you've got to have a password reset disk which 99% of the people who own
laptops with windows 7 fail to do. It should be one of the first things
you do when you buy the laptop. Otherwise, you're faced
with reinstalling the Operating System or possibly doing a System
Recovery.
If you're on Windows XP or Vista try this:
Turn
off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it back on
and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see the
Safe Mode option. Select SAFE MODE and let the computer boot up. When
it gets to the User Login screen it will show the Administrator userid
and the userid for which you forgot the password. Sign in as the
Administrator (hopefully you didn't put a password on it and forgot it
too). Once the desktop appears it will look different, the screen will
be darker and the icons bigger,but this is normal for safe mode.
Click Start/Control Panel/User Accounts
When
the User Accounts screen opens, click on the userid for which you
forgot the password. Select the option to REMOVE PASSWORD.
Reboot your machine.

What is,....regular the password..?
Regulate? As in change, or remove? Best bet is to take the laptop to an authorized Lenovo/IBM representative, (Dealer or repair shop), and take your ID, credit/debit card, and proof of purchase, (Receipt). The rep will contact Lenovo who will issue a Master password. This is retained by the rep, ONLY. The rep will then use the master password, and either set another password, or set it to none.
