IBM thinkpad T41 -> get
Hi,
The IBM Thinkpad has a very strong security system.
If
you are seeing a lock symbol when booting then somebody has set the supervisor
password. If you can't remember it or guess it (try "password", "admin", "pass", etc)
then you need to find the person that set the supervisor password.
Once
the supervisor password is set the T41 is very well protected and it
can't be reset by removing the laptop battery or CMOS battery.
There
is a way to read the password from the protection chip but this is very
complicated and requires taking the laptop apart and building your own
chip reader.
The instructions for doing this are are:

Hope this helps,
Chris
