If you cannot boot the ThinkPad, you will have to reset the IBM ThinkPad password via hardware.
If only the power-on password is set, do the following to remove the power-on password.
- Power off the computer
- Remove the DIMM cover on the bottom side of the computer.
- Short-circuit the two password pads or put a jumper on the contacts to short the circuit.
- Under the short-circuit condition, power on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The power-on password is removed.
- Reinstall the DIMM cover.
If both the power-on password and the supervisor password are set, do the following to remove the passwords:
- Power on the computer by pressing and holding F1.
- Enter the supervisor password. The Easy-Setup menu appears.
- Click on the Password icon.
- Click on the Power on icon.
- Enter the supervisor password and press the Space bar.
- Press Enter twice.
- Click on Exit; then click on Restart.
