How to Reset an IBM ThinkPad Laptop Password?
Good day dear readers,For you information, an IBM ThinkPad laptop can have three hardware password sets:
- Power-On Password
- Hard Disk Password
- Supervisor Password
Power-On Password
RT/CMOS RAM has 8 bytes reserved for the power-on password and the check character. The 8 bytes are initialized to hex 00. The microprocessor can access these bytes only during POST. After POST is completed, if a power-on password is installed, the password bytes are locked and no program can access them.During power-on password installation, the password (1 to 7 characters) is stored in the security space.
Installing the password is a function of the built-in system program Easy-Setup. The power-on password does not appear on the screen when it is installed, changed, or removed.Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive (Black)
