I have run into a client who has set a supervisor (or is a supervisor I
was a little confused by the description) password on the bios of a
ThinkPad A20. We have contacted IBM and they say the only way to fix
this issue is to replace the systemboard of the computer. Is this
true???? That seems super-drastic. Anyone have any better ideas or
programs that are made to specifically brute force bios (not sure if
that is possible). The bios version is 1.09 (IWET55WW) I am not sure of
the maker (award, phoenix, etc) because this is all 4th hand
information.
Anyway anyone with suggestions (not flames, I am not person who set the
bios password and did not write it down) please feel free to respond
publicly or privately.
Regards,
Leon
