Supervisor password

A Supervisor password protects the system information stored in the BIOS. The user must enter the Supervisor password in order to get access to the ThinkPad BIOS Setup Utility in order to change the system configuration. If the Supervisor password is forgotten there is no way to reset it to enter the BIOS configuration. Setting a Supervisor password automatically sets the master Hard drive password. The following is the icon that comes up in the upper left corner if a Supervisor password is set:
A forgotten Supervisor password will prevent access to the ThinkPad BIOS setup utility. To regain access, the system will need to be serviced to have the system board and hard drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and this repair is not covered under the warranty.

Unlocked supervisor password

There are no backdoor passwords that you can use to get into your computer. The password is not stored on the BIOS and removing the BIOS battery will not help you. The password is stored on an EEPROM chip, you need a hacker who can solder a piece of hardware to this chip, run a program to read the contents of the chip to reveal the password.
IBM state that you need to buy a new motherboard to fix this problem.

Supervisor Password Tosh 2410

If you don't know these passwords, then I don't think there is any way to unlock it. But reformatting your hard drive and reinstalling an operating system will fix this, and it will allow you to reset your own passwords. Hope this helps. If you don't wish to do it this way, then contact your computer's manufacturer and sk them for help; or you can also google the problem that you are having, and see if any solutions come up. Thanks
