Setting a Password
Do Not Forget Your Password
If you forget your hard disk or supervisor password, there is
no way to reset your password or recover data from
the hard disk. You have to take your computer to an IBM
authorized reseller or an IBM marketing representative to
have the hard disk or the system board replaced. Proof of
purchase is required, and an additional charge might be
required for the service. Neither an IBM authorized reseller
nor IBM marketing representative can make the hard disk
drive usable.
