Are you using a software disk? What is the wireless device? I'm not sure what you mean by "validate the identity"? Does the Laptop see the wirelss in Available Wireless Networks, in the windows Network and Sharing Center? Is the wireless password protected? What OS are you using in the IBM ThinkPad T40.
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.
To reset the BIOS read the information from this link.
In case of your IBM ThinkPad laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper.
For that you need to reset factory defaults settings for bios. For reset bios u have to open back side of your laptop then u find motherbord circuit there. pull cmos cell on motherbord for 15 minute then it reset to defaults. Also u can reset with jumper settigns read carefully on mother bord there is 1 jumper near cmos cell u read there " bios reset or clear" It is on 1-2 position right now set it in 2-3 position then power up then all bios settings are reset. then again set it in 1-2 its original position.
Hi,
If you are talking about the Boot, HDD, Bios password, then the only one way to recover it is to implement a chip on the systemboard to shorcut the protection or to contact Lenovo for a systemboard replacement.
Otherwise you can check out theses 2 tutorials, with few skill you can make it yourself:

Unfortunalty,there is no other ways other round.
Thanks and have a nice day

Laptop BIOS passwords are kept in a special password chip. On some laptops these chips are replaceable and there are a number of places you can buy this. PWcrack.com for one.
