Hello,
I lock my laptop password last week, but i use a software called Smartkey Windows Password Recovery to help me unlock laptop password, while you can do as the following steps,

Step1.Download Smartkey Windows Password Recovery from recoverlostpassword.com and decompress it on that PC. There is a .ISO file. Burn the .ISO file to CD or USB Flash Driver.

Step2.Get out the newly created CD or USB Flash Driver and insert it to the locked computer.

Step3. Re-boot the locked computer and then follow the process of instructions. Just after a few steps, the old password will be removed.

It can recover all Windows version.

OK, if you are running Windows 7, Microsoft tightenedsecurity on it so you've got to have a password reset disk which 99% of thepeople who own laptops with windows 7 fail to do. It should be one of thefirst things you do when you buy the laptop. Otherwise, you're faced withreinstalling the Operating System or possibly doing a System Recovery.

If you're on Windows XP or Vista try this:

Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it back on andimmediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Safe Modeoption. Select SAFE MODE and let the computer boot up. When it getsto the User Login screen it will show the Administrator userid and the useridfor which you forgot the password. Sign in as the Administrator (hopefullyyou didn't put a password on it and forgot it too). Once the desktopappears it will look different, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger,but this is normal for safe mode.

Click Start/Control Panel/User Accounts
When the User Accounts screen opens, click on the userid for which you forgotthe password. Select the option to REMOVE PASSWORD.

Reboot your machine.

SOURCE: how do i enter supervisor password on my lenovo

Step 1: Enter Safe Mode

a)Start or re-start your computer.

b)Before the Windows 7 loading screen appears, Press 'F8? to enter Advanced Boot Options.

c)Use arrows to choose 'Safe Mode' when you can see the Advanced Boot Options screen.

d)Press 'Enter' and wait for Windows 7 files to load.

e)Log on with an administrator account when you can see the log on screen

Note: Well, when you are presented with the Advanced Boot Options screen, there are 3 types of Safe Mode. They are the Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and Safe Mode with Command Prompt, and the 3 options are all available for you. Here above we take Safe Mode as an example, but if you choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt, you'll need to input related to command prompt to reset the password.

Step 2: Reset the forgotten Windows login password in Windows 7

Now you could diagnose and solve some serious computer problems in the safe mode and reset the forgotten Windows login password in Windows 7 as follows:

1.Click 'Start' button, input 'lusrmgr.msc' into the Search box and press 'Enter'.

2.In the 'Local Users and Groups screen', click 'Users'.

3.Right-click the account that you need to reset the password for, and then click 'Set Password'.

4.Type and confirm the new password, click 'OK'. (You can go to 'Local Users and Groups' screen by right-clicking 'Computer' to select 'Manage' on desktop.)

Step 3: Log on your password protected PC again with the new password since you have successfully performed Windows password reset for Windows 7.

Locks? Freezes?

Maybe you have a virus or infection that takes over during inactivity.

Go to www.google.com and in the search box type:"Download cnet Malwarebytes" (without the quotes). Download andinstall malwarebytes from the sites download.cnet/malwarebytes. When thesite opens up click on the Green Download button on the left. Do notclick the Red Download button, that's junk. When it finishes installing the GuiInterface will open up with an offer to Accept a Trial Version orDecline. CLICK DECLINE you want the totally free version. Run aQUICK SCAN. As it scans, if it finds infections the number will be inred. When it finishes scanning, click SHOW RESULTS. A notepad textdocument will open up showing you the results. You can close the textdocument and go back to the Gui Interface where you will click REMOVE SELECTEDRESULTS. The objects will already be selected for you. When itfinishes removing the objects click ok and it will sometimes reboot yourmachine.

If MalwareBytes does not solve the probem You might need to to a Repair Install of the operating system. A repair install will not cause you to lose any data.

I have a ibm a30 it is lock and i cant unlock it .Is there a password from ibm that i can unlock it to chang it.

You must be referring to the bios password or maybe the power on password. You can try taking out the yellow coin cmos battery located under the cover for the modem/wireless card/ bluetooth card bay. Unplug the wire and leave out for 24 hours or longer and this might do the trick. Make sure you unplug the computer and take any batteries out of the machine beforehand. If this does not work then you can always get a company to unlock it for you for a fee. Check ebay and you will see auctions based on the model of notebook you own. In your case click here http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-LENOVO-Thinkpad-BIOS-Password-A30-A31-T30-T42p-T61p_W0QQitemZ400107955932QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5d284ae6dc

My notebook is locked

In order to unlock an IBM laptop, another PC has to be connected via a cable and adapter and some wiring done to read the security chip on the motherboard, then a software is used to retrieve the password. IBM says this cannot be done - however it is possible using the correct wiring connection and software. Occasionally on some models the password can be erased by using a jumper on the motherboard. IBM usually has 3 levels of password, power-on, machine access and hard drive.
