I have a IBM thinkpad it says T30 im guessing thats the model anyway i havent used this laptop in years and now i cant remember the bios password! i need it to set up windows! does somebody out there know how to reset the password or change it? i really need this PLZ!
the battery trick dosent work and i do pull both of them. insint there another way to do this, i think ths laptop holds its memory even without power! and no its not used i just havent used it since i was 12 back in 2002.
See the Battery trick is quite old and it doesn't work now a days (Not supported on new motherboards). However there is another way that you can use. Look out for a jumper on the motherboard that will be marked as BIOS jumper just interchange the position from pin 1,2 to 2,3 and then power it up just once and then again change it back to pin 1,2 and then power it back up. This will surely reset the BIOS password.
