T61 Bios lock out.
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2019 5:25 pm
I purchased this machine new long ago and password protected the BIOS. No supervisor password.
Out of the blue a few years ago I got an unknown error after entering in the BIOS password. When I hit ESC it went through. I did this work around a few more years.
About two months ago I decided to try and clear the error and disconnected/reconnect the coin battery. Now my only BIOS password I ever gave it will not work.
I purchased this machine new there is no supervisor password.
I can get into the Boot Agent set up, but cannot really change anything.
If I ESC out of the Boot Agent set up I get a "0210: Stuck key 01" error. I then remove the keyboard, hooked up an external keyboard but no luck.
I think I'm screwed, but if any of you have a possible solution I should like to hear it.
Thanks,
Nylo
