I have a good partner of mine who purchase IT Equipment wholesale and ship them overseas. He just bought some IBM laptops, a bunch of them. The trouble is most of them are locked (manufacturers pass codes). I have encountered this problem before and I would pay a charge to get them remove. But he has so many and it would prohibitive for him to get them remove. He's already pay too much for them anyway. And I want to help him out. I would appreciate any help to remove these passwords. thanks in advance.
 
Then give us more info. Not trying to be an ass, but we can't read minds. Just saying a manufacture password isn't enough. Give us model numbers, where it's happening, something more to work with. We deal with people giving us no info daily, most of us aren't willing to do that with others on their off time.

I think are t60's or R60's

Usually, removing the cmos battery would do the trick on some other brand. But not on these IBM. Here is what you get upon powering up. and that's as far as you gonna get...

I'm going to tell you that it's darn near impossible, especially if they lock the harddrive too. The Bios password isn't that easy to crack. Take it from someone who worked with T40-T60 series for years. Might have to cut it as a loss. I had a dude who "acquired" a laptop and bought it to me so that he could reinstall windows and sell it. First off, it was stolen so I was hesitant and once I saw that the Bios password was set, forget it.

I've had a couple removed before. the service is offered on ebay. but the price is prohibitive, especially for the quantity he has.

Looks like an bios admin password, you may be SOL unless you can find a master password for that model online.
 
all you need is a screwdriver and a 7inch piece of a cat5 cable. Remove the cover from the ram slot and remove the ram. you should see a plastic piece covering the area where the jumper is located. Remove it. Then take that cat5 cable and remove pieces on each end so that the wire is exposed on both ends. You have to make sure that both ends of the cat5 cable are touching both jumper sections when you boot up the laptop. (You might have to sit it sideways on a table or something to do it right) This will automatically remove the passwords. When its done, reseat the ram and start the computer back up again. Should be good to go. Ive done this shit plenty of times and it works like a charm.

not impossible. you need to find the user manuals for the specific models he has and the info on resetting the password will be in there, good luck

Don't try it....

The supervisor (SVP) password is stored in a chip called ATMEL 24RF08.It can not be reset by disconnecting the BIOS battery or shorting any jumper. It has to be read in order to deciffer the password. For this we need some kind of hardware so read on…

I have done this successfully on Toshiba. From what I understand would not work on IBM's. But worth a try.
 
Try this.

On most IBM models that has a lock like that, it helps to know the MOBO Manufacturer. They might have whats called a "backdoor" password. For instance, Phoenix is a mobo manufacturer...try "admin" or "ADMIN" or "phoenix"....best i could do without reaserching.

This

ALone with the Dell Precision Line, they're bios locked and some have GPS on them since cats are known to try to steal them from companies... The laptops are probably hot my friend, I wouldn't touch it.

It's very tough to bypass the bios password... very tough and I wouldn't recommend it...

It's not the bios. It's a separate EEPROM. He can read it by hand or through the Arduino device I listed but that's it. There is no back door.
