BIOS locked on T61p - how to unlock it?

The BIOS is locked on my ThinkPad T61p Motherboard FRU 44C3931 – how do I unlock it please?

By locked do you mean locked by a Supervisor Password?
Information on the different passwords and how to remove them can be found in the Hardware Maintenence Manuals;
T61p 14" Models     T61p 15.4" Models
The Supervisor Password cannot be removed without knowing it or changing the motherboard, if the system or the mainboard happen to be second hand you might like to ask the previous owner if they are able to assist.
Mandatory part; discussion on circumventing security measures, which passwords are, is prohibited by the forum guidelines.    "No posts shall include instructions or directions intended to subvert security measures, including passwords, locking mechanisms, fingerprint scans, etc, or to subvert safety measures. Nor shall any posts provide descriptions to the location of, nor direct links to content related to these topics."

    Contact the cellular provider in Canada to determine if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

    Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or send the unlock request to Apple on the owner's behalf.
    You need to contact Fido in Canada.

  • Hi my iphone is locked to icloud how to unlock it

    hi my iphone is locked to icloud any one knows how to unlock it

    You will need to type in the account's id and password. If you bought the phone used and the previous owner left it linked to their account then you will have to contact the previous owner and ask them to remove the phone from their account - he/she is the only person that can do it

  • Lock image pixels, how to unlock ?

    It open a JPEG in Camera Raw from Bridge, make some adjustments and then I open the photo as a Smart Object in Photoshop. Then I create an adjustment layer and also change the layer style on the smart object ( Inner glow and a Stroke). I save the layer style as default because I have many photos that I want to have the same "border".
    I save my Smart Object and start with the next photo from Bridge, into Camera Raw and then into Photoshop as a Smart Object. I add a layer and then I change the layer style for the Smart Object and now my adjustments are default so very easy.
    BUT, I cannot see my new border on the second Smart Object! After long time I find out that the first two icons beside Lock in the Layers panel are "locked", I can not change them. The other two are open for change.
    So my question is 1) what happened, what is the difference, why are my pixels locked in the second photo? and 2) How can I unlock the pixels?
    Yes, I have tried 10-15 times with other photos and I get the same result, my way to get a soft border around my photos are not working.
    I have never been an expert in Photoshop and now I am very rusty, I have not touch the program for 8 months.
    I have Photoshop CS5 Extended Ver 12.0.64 (updated the software today).
    So if someone can tell me what is wrong I will be very happy !

  • X220 WWAN Locked to Vodafone - How to unlock?

    I've got an X220 laptop with an Ericsson F5521 gw WWAN module in it.  I've only ever used it in the UK with a Vodafone UK SIM and hadn't realised until I tried to use it with foreign data SIM that its locked.  How do I go about getting the unlock code for it?  Do I need to speak to Lenovo or Vodafone?  Or is there a 3rd party service I can use?  Has anyone else got experience with this?
    Cheers
    Mark

    The Lenovo supplied F5521gw card is not locked to any provider.
    Please tell us more about your experience with the foreign data SIM that caused you think the card was locked to a specific provider?!?
    Cheers,

  • Bios password is lock....how to unlock it ???????

    i was provided with a laptop from university of delhi..but when i starting accessing it i found that its BIOS password was locked...pls tell me how to unlock that password,,plz...rply as soon as possible 

    Hi Chetan,
    You need to call HP and log a ticket.
    Along with this you need to provide the 32 character UUID (universal unique identifier)
    and the serial number of the unit.
    HP will give you file named SMC.BIN
    It requires special instructions to be run 
    You do not need to give ID proof - lol
    2- Invoice copy
    3- Authorization letter
    I'm an HP Employee.

  • My Ipad is in a locked rotation.  How can I unlock it?  carolynmunson

    My Ipad is in a locked rotation.  How can I unlock it?  carolynm.

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
