I set a BIOS and power-on a long time ago and forgot them. Is there a way to extract them from the finger-print chip?

Sorry, I don't think so you can.

Joe in Australia can obtain your password, but its not free and you need to build a small RS232 device and dismantle your T60:

I don't remember how or where, but I'm sure you can reset all your password if you still remember where is your finger.

Anyways, that will allow you to change the pass, not to recover it. Password encryption algorithms are one-way and not reversible., of course.

Try playing with Thinkvantage Client Security Solution.

Thanks for the tips, but I was able to remember my password.
