Hi all, I was given an IBM ThinkPad A21e laptop completely free from one of the folks at work! A little beat up but no big deal. The problem...it is password locked for both the BIOS and to even boot it up. I know the BIOS password, but the other one I have no idea nor does the old owner. I have tried taking it apart to see if I can locate the CMOS battery but so far no dice! So I wondering if anyone with more experience servicing laptops has any ideas?
If I can get it booted up I want to load K/Ubuntu on it, so I am a bit keen and eager to get it working. It looks like it has 144 MB of RAM a 10 GB HDD, a 14"screen, networking, modem, and a 700Mhz processor so it looks like it will be a half decent little unit...providing I can get past the dang passwords. I haven't been able to find much documentation on it, but I will continue searching. Anyone have any more ideas, I would be much appreciated? Please contact me off-list.
