My laptop IBM Lenovo Thinkpad T60 of type:2008-AD7, S/N L3-C0670 06/07, seems to be locked at the very start when the power is turned on, it shows a lock and enquires a password from the early start. it does not boot or give way to the bios utility setup. when switched on it only blinks for password. I typed ''default'' as the password but does not respond. Please i request for its default password or a reset password. Looking foward Felix

Hi,

There is no default password on the T60.

If you are seeing a lock symbol then somebody has set the supervisor password. If you can't guess it (try "password", "admin", "pass", etc) then you need to find the person that set the supervisor password.

Once the supervisor password is set the T60 is very well protected and it can't be reset by removing the laptop battery or CMOS battery.

There is a way to read the password from the protection chip but this is very complicated and requires taking the laptop apart and building your own chip reader.

The instructions for doing this are are:

Hello

hello there black screen and requires password, it seems that you locked it in bios, if you don't know the password you can reset the password by resetting the bios battery or short the two pins under the memory slot of your laptop.


thanks
