Removing supervisor password
Removing supervisor password
I have a T40 with a Supervisor password set. Is there anything which can be done to remove it?

You will need to replace the system board for that one...

Re: Removing supervisor password
I fail to understand why anyone would sell or give away a system and forget they set an inaccessible password so the next owner has to go through this sort of thing.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Re: Removing supervisor password
Someone was getting rid of three old ThinkPads at a car boot sale for £10. I'm sure they weren't aware of the supervisor password being set, but it was only set on one them, and that has been canibalised anyway, so no regrets.

It's a bit too geeky for me, and I don't have the confidence or ability to follow the instructions.
