No jumpers on motherboard

hi, I am affraid there are no jumpers on motherboard to disable supervisor password. IBM suggests to replace entire planner board.

But, there is way to retrieve the password from EEPROM of your machine which is a security chip on the planner board and password is stored in that chip.

Mabs.
