IBM Thinkpad T30 BIOS password

by on Jul.15, 2008, under General Jazz

I came by a IBM Thinkpad T30 with a power on password enabled. The original owner threw it out because he couldn’t remember the password and IBM told him that he had to change the planar (the notebook equivalent of the motherboard.) Followed the instructions on SoDoItYourself and constructed a serial port interface, downloaded the software and I was very quickly able to get the power-on password!

Neat!
