Try this:
MOV AL,adr
OUT 70H,AL
NOP
MOV AL,0
OUT 71H,AL
for "adr" in range 78H - 7FH. On this adress is stored the password. Or try clear all CMOS data by range 00H - 7FH.
Ok, I'll try that
Here is a link to crack a bios password and some other options USE WITH CAUTION not for the faint hearted i had to replace a board after using one of these utils once due to i could never get bios loaded on it again. X

Make something idiot proof, and they will invent a better idiot!
I have a utility that you run from a DOS bot disk that will return the BIOS to it's original state... KillCMOS. Email me and I'll send it to you. https://forums.windrivers.com/

it *is* a virus, it has all the requirements
it destrys one bit in cmos to reset it to defaults.
guess it is a good virus...
There is also a utility called ctbios that gives you access to bios passwords. I'm not sure if it works with the thinkpad though.
