Back up your most important data to an external storage device in case anything goes wrong while changing the BIOS settings. Remove any disc that is currently inserted in the IBM Thinkpad X41's disc drive.

give me rate

not chargeing or not holding a charge?
try new battery some IBM's run on prehistoric voltages

Could be a thermal problem either a faulty fan or a dirty one, laptops **** in dust and detritus too. John

Here's the link where you can download the driver for XP. Make sure you select the correct family. X41 has two types of unit. Tablet and regular laptop. Make sure also to choose the correct type and model. If you are not aware of this, it is actually at the white sticker at bottom of your laptop.

Windows Password Genius can help you to reset user and password at the same time.

I have had to retrieve the BIOS password from one of these before. It is not an easy thing to get to. You have to first

• Build a special 9-pin Serial cable using parts you can find at Radio Shack
  
• Dismantle the laptop
  
• find the correct BIOS chip,
• Solder a couple wires to the correct pins of the BIOS chip (without getting solder on the other pins, or damaging something)
• Hook it up to another computer via serial port
• Do a dump of the information stored on the BIOS chip
• Use a hex-reader to decipher the information and display the password within.

Here is a link to a site that shows you in detail how to accomplish this. It does work, and I've successfully used the linked method to unlock a X41 of my own.
