Hi, If you are talking about the Boot, HDD, Bios password, then the only one way to recover it is to implement a chip on the systemboard to shorcut the protection or to contact Lenovo for a systemboard replacement. Otherwise you can check out theses 2 tutorials, with few skill you can make it yourself: -http://www.allservice.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47&start=0 -http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=111234041830357&w=2 Unfortunalty, no other ways other round. Thanks and have a nice day J-

You have to completely disassemble the whole laptop in order to get to the motherboard & actually remove the original soldering to remove the DC power jack from the motherboard. One thing you need is the right tools (Screwdriver) and the soldering gun.

Google & research a guide for disassembling your IBM Thinkpad T42

Hello.

It seems the hard disk size will max out at 80GB with a 5,400 RPM speed according to IBM.

Im sorry to say that this means that it will not support a 120Gb hard drive.
