Administrator password set on laptop

[DAN-O77]

Hello all,
I have an IBM thinkpad T42p laptop in which the administrator password was set on it by a former employee. I cannot get into the IBM recovery console without the password. Is there anyway around this or a way to reset the password or clear the password?

Let the IT department at your company handle it. Any chance that you can get a hold of your former employee?

Well I am part of the IT deptartment here. We normally do not support the IBM thinkpads, only HP products. No way of getting a hold of the former employee. I have ran this past a lot of the IT people here at our company and no luck. They suggested this site.

I understand. There are products/services in eBay that claim to be able to remove this password:

That seller is pretty reputable too.

Good luck with it, let us know how it turns out.

Regards.

For your own sake, don't use his services on ebay "tpads-plus".
