Need CMOS\BIOS password for IBM Transnote Thinkpad
This is an older pc that belongs to my dad, i had stuck a password on it way back when i was just playing with it, and now i found it again and want to get it back up and operational... my pops doesn't think it can be done but i am sure that there is someway around this... if anyone has any help or needs any additional information let me know!!!

Its an IBM Transnote Thinkpad
windows 98
Intel Pentium 3

the screen that comes up simply shows a Locked lock with a cursor waiting for a maxium of 7 characters.

I never set a BIOS password on anything I don't KNOW I can clear.

Either try typing many passwords or ask at
http://forum.thinkpads.com/
about clearing the CMOS. If that is too expensive someone may buy it for parts.
