Using Passwords
Do Not Forget Your Password
If you forget your hard-disk-drive or supervisor password, there is
no way to reset your password or recover data from the
hard disk. You have to take your computer to an IBM reseller or
an IBM marketing representative to have the hard disk or the
system board replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and an
additional charge might be required for the service. Neither an
IBM reseller nor IBM marketing representative can make the hard
disk drive usable.
Changing or Removing a Password
This security feature prevents someone from removing a password
and using your computer. To change or remove a password, do the
following:
For a Power-On Password or Hard-Disk-Drive Password
1
Power off the computer and wait at least 5 seconds; then
power on the computer.
The password prompt appears.
2
Type your current password.
