Hi,
Trying to tweak/Configure my newly arrived T60 1953-DAU laptop.
Its XP Pro preloaded.
When laptop boots in to XP it shows a screen about ThinkVantage Security configuration.
When I enter my Windows Administrator password it never accepts.
Where to locate ThinkVantage security password

Your password was assigned by the owner for security purposes and is not located somewhere for you to "find" it.

This is the whole purpose of having security is that it can not be defeated!

It's a refurnished model I bought. And the OS is reloaded.
Is there any work around or I must contact the seller

I would like to know this also. I would like to disable it, As it is just anoying. I don't want it to pop up anymore.

Uninstall Client Security Solution if you're not going to use it.

In order to reset the password, try to clear the Embedded Security chip in the BIOS, you can find information to do that in the following post by milkster:

Security Chip Passphrase.
