Some vendors allow you to get bios unlock code-words if you can prove
ownership. I bought my sony vaio for a very cheap price from a large PC
dealer, merely because they had to register the warranty before sony would
give them an unlock code. Of course you can't sell a machine without the
warranty ;).
