Jephree You are the MAN !!!!

I like that adapter option.

In regards to it being a Bios password? Could be, not really sure ? As I wrote before, when you boot it up these are the #'s and configurations that came up before it Beeps and then shows the padlock.

She actually said that she was trying to change the pixels in picture it. When it asked her for a password?

On another note, or BTW maybe it's not the HD afterall.... As I am getting the same confiuration and #'s without the HD in the laptop?

So what does that indicate/mean?

thanks

As this computer is so old it is no longer listed at IBM: but check out these links to clear the CMOS on a ThinkPad. Maybe you can find it on your machine. It sounds like you have a BIOS password set. Clearing the CMOS should clear the password. It should also be listed in the manual.

Thanks Jephree'

I know that this is an ancient lappie. When my friend told me what she spent on it just six months ago.... I was agasp!!!! I think there's a W.C. Fields line that goes along with it. "Something about a sucker being born every minute".
I just hate to see this being used as a door stop. I didn't mean to be spinning your guys wheels on such an old system. But I also didn't want to see her going out and spending anymore ($) Denaro on this system.
I figured that there had to be a way around that password.

Thanks ever so much.

I'll check on how to clear the CMOS and get rid of the Bios password.
