I have a PANASONIC CF-RZ4 with supervisor password. Does anyone have fresh copy of BIOS.

What to do if you have a Panasonic CF-RZ4 with a supervisor password
If you have forgotten your supervisor's password for your Panasonic CF-RZ4, you will need to reset it in order to gain access to the BIOS settings.

In order to do this, you will need to have a fresh copy of the BIOS file for your CF-RZ4. You can usually find this on the manufacturer's website.


Once you have the BIOS file, you will need to use a program like 7-Zip to extract the contents of the file. Inside the extracted folder, you will find a file called "bios.bin". This is the file you will need to use to reset your supervisor's password.


To reset the password, you will need to boot into the BIOS settings. To do this, you will need to press the F2 key when the CF-RZ4 logo appears on the screen.
I hope this helps!

Forgot password to my ibm thinkpad 2373

Which password have you forgotten? If it is the Power On password this can be reset by briefly removing the connection from the system board to the cmos battery. If it is the Supervisor password you can either send it to Lenovo for a replacement system board and hard drive or send to me and I will return with password removed. [email protected] Regards Paul

How do i get into bios on a ibm thinkpad 1800/R52? seems like it needs a password. all i want to do is reinstall windows and i cant boot from cd

helo

go to the link below to get further assistance
but basically to reset the password, follow these steps.

If the Power-on password (POP) is forgotten and the Supervisor password is known, simply go into the ThinkPad BIOS setup utility and reset the Power-on password, otherwise try the following:
  1. Turn off the computer.
  2. Remove the battery pack.
  3. Remove the backup battery (CMOS battery --size of coin- located on mainboard, requires you to remove the plastic cover on rear on computer)
  4. Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The POP has been removed.
  5. Reinstall the backup battery and the battery pack.
    Note: Some ThinkPad systems have the ability to reset the Power-on passwords in the ThinkPad BIOS setup utility if a Supervisor password has been set.

Startup password can't get into bois ibm t60 laptop tryed removing both battery and nothing i can't get it to do nothing

From your hardware maintenance manual:

Supervisor password: A supervisor password (SVP) protects the system information stored in the BIOS Setup Utility. The user must enter the SVP in order to get access to the BIOS Setup Utility and change the system configuration.

Attention: If the SVP has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the servicer, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board must be replaced for a scheduled fee.

Supervisor password

A Supervisor password protects the system information stored in the BIOS. The user must enter the Supervisor password in order to get access to the ThinkPad BIOS Setup Utility in order to change the system configuration. If the Supervisor password is forgotten there is no way to reset it to enter the BIOS configuration. Setting a Supervisor password automatically sets the master Hard drive password. The following is the icon that comes up in the upper left corner if a Supervisor password is set:
A forgotten Supervisor password will prevent access to the ThinkPad BIOS setup utility. To regain access, the system will need to be serviced to have the system board and hard drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and this repair is not covered under the warranty.
