T61 Power On Password ... can`t reset it

I used to have 2 passwords, one on the hard drive and one for the Power On. But I was never asked about them, every time using the fingerprint. Yesteday I have just re-installed the Windows. I shutted down the laptop and when I need it opened I found that I need to put my passwords. I couldn`t remember the Power On Password.
I searched on the net and found this link
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-59377
Turn off the computer.
Remove the battery pack.
Remove the backup battery.
Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The POP has been removed.
Reinstall the backup battery and the battery pack.
I did exactly what they say for reseting the Power On Password. Or maybe I might missunderstand the POST meaning. I thought this means the Icon where I am asked about the Power On Password. Am I right? If not, what does "POST ends" means? Because I am sure that this message for the password won`t dissapear.
Please let me know what should I do in this case.

I'm really sorry, but we are dealing with the supervisor password, the most secure password on a ThinkPad. The pictures on the site you linked to are unfortunately a little outdated.
You will need to remember this password and delete it in BIOS. The forum rules forbid discussion on this subject. Discussion of the POP, (Power On Password), is permitted as this is openly published for all to see. e.g. the site you linked to.
You may be able to get some assistance from support if you call them.
Unfortunately, in accordance with the rules, I am locking this thread.
I wish you luck and hope you can resolve this.
Regards

Does the power-on password fully protect user data?

Hi,
I am a T61 user.
First question
Does the power-on password fully protect user data, or could someone just boot from the optical drive or another source?
Second question
If I were to use full disc encryption, could I easily unecrypt it in the future?
Thanks in advance!

As mostly with everything in life, there are pros and cons related to all sort of data protection schemes. At least in therory, everything that can be encripted may also be decripted in some way, be it via reverse engineering or some other technique. - But of course some sort of protection is always better than no protection at all, especially if you deal with lets say sensible data.
The power-on password is not a full data protection at all, to get an idea of the different password protection schemes take a look at the following short descriptions here...
--> http://www.tech-faq.com/ibm-thinkpad-bios-password.shtml
...there are some ways to reset a power-on password and informations how to do so can be found on the net. Further it doesn't help much if somebody takes out the whole harddrive of your Thinkpad.
Performing a full HDD encription, via an embedded ATM hardware chip inside the Thinkpad, or even using some OS related encription mechanism would be more secure for sensible data, as long as you don't get hardware or software trouble with those parts, which are responsible for the build-in encription/decription scheme. So it's always also a good idea to also perform additional periodically backups of your sensible data, so if some worst case scenario might appear, that you are still be able to restore your valuable data.
Hope this gives you at least a little idea about the pros and cons of both of these security schemes.

How dissable/reset power-on password on ThinkPad W500 ?

How dissable/reset power-on password on ThinkPad W500 ?
SN: xxxxxxx 09/04
I try this procedure:
Turn off the computer.
Remove the battery pack.
Remove the backup battery.
Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The POP has been removed.
Reinstall the backup battery and the battery pack.
but power-on password still here
Moderator Note; s/n edited for member's own protection

Exactly what doesn't work?
from a completely shut down state, not a re-start, press and hold the F1 key while starting the system. The system should then beep and show the lock symbol with the error codes which mean that the date and time aren't correct, (as a result of the CMOS battery being pulled).
At the lock prompt enter your supervisor password, not the old or new power-on password, set the time and date to the correct values and remove or change the supervisor password as described in the manual. If you do not know the supervisor password you will need to find it out from the previous owner if there was one; otherwise you will need a new mainboard.

How to prevent user password being reset to the same password?

Hi,
As you all know, domain admin has the power to reset user password. Let's think of the following scenario:
if an admin lets a user reset his password to use the same string, this action means he could nullify company policy on password which requires user's last N passwords being recorded in the history.
We could very well imagine that the admin reset his own personal password in order to bypass company policy.
I have asked partner forum to see if there's a way to prevent such thing, but the reply I got is "No".
I wanted to know if anyone of you have any idea to prevent such thing from happening?
Or if it's possible to get the hash value of users past N password to see if he's always using the same password?
Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Good rules is better alternative to complex policy.
Combine password history with time interval between changes.
Regards
Milos
You don't understand what I mean.
He knows exactly what you mean.
check out this link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757692%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
Enforce password history
The Enforce password history policy setting determines the number of unique new passwords that must be associated with a
user account before an old password can be reused .
The possible values for this Group Policy setting are:
A user-defined number from 0 through 24.
Not defined.
Discussion
Password reuse is an important concern in any organization. Many users want to reuse the same password for their account over a long period of time. The longer the same password is used for
a particular account, the greater the chance that an attacker will be able to determine the password through brute force attacks. If users are required to change their password, but nothing prevents them from using the old password or continually reusing a
small number of passwords, the effectiveness of a good password policy is greatly reduced.
Specifying a low number for Enforce password history allows users to continually use the same small number of passwords repeatedly. If you do not also set Minimum
password age, users can change their password as many times in a row as necessary in order to reuse their original password.
If you set Enforce password history to a number greater than zero, users must come up with a new password every time they are required to change their old one. This
improves security, but it can increase the risk that users will write down their passwords so they do not forget them.
If you set the value to the maximum of 24, it helps to ensure that vulnerabilities caused by password reuse are kept to a minimum.
For this policy setting to be effective in your organization, configure Minimum password age so that you do not allow passwords to be changed immediately. Enforce
password history should be set at the level that combines a reasonable maximum password age with a reasonable password change interval requirement for users.

Fingerprint instead of power on password not working any more

Hi,
my current configuration is T530i model 2392.
I recently updated BIOS to version 2.52 from 12. Feb. 2013 and of course some other software especially solid state drive firmware Version FWSS28 from 14. Feb 2013.
In BIOS Predesktop Authentication is enabled in addition with harddisk password and power on password.
Now to my problem:
before updating I software I could start with only swiping my finger over fingerprint sensor, without providing any kinde of password for harddisk or power on password. I received information about success & windows 7 (64 bit) was booting.
Now I need to provide power on password all the time, seems that fingerprint or BIOS now has a bug ?!
I did several things like:
disabling every password request in BIOS rebooting...
disabling deleting fingerprints on laptop and rebooting...
unchecked all necessary settings in fingerprint security software like SSO, power-on-password, fingerprint sensor should replace power on / hard disk password..... reboooting...
- then enabled everything again which I unchecked before.... rebooting....
Nothing has worked so far, so there it seems to be a bug in predesktop authentication...
Could you please advice or provide a fix ?

Hi,
here short terms how I fixed it:
- opened fingerprint program & disabled everything which is of concern for authenticating with fingerprint
- deleted fingerprint with that software too
- disabled biometric device with windows tools
- deleted TPM with tpm.msc
- removed everything from BIOS regarding fingerprint, password for booting, hdd, etc
- resetted fingerprint with bios too
- loaded bios setup default (cause it was a BIOS update)
- shut down computer
- startup again and set everything in BIOS which is needed and has been disabled before
- did the same in windows (enabled everything again)
- rebootet.... prayed... computer prompts with "fingerprint matched" ==> first YEAH
- provided boot up password once....
- shutdown again....
- started with enrolling fingerprint only.... no prompt for password any more.... second YEAH
DONE

Power on password - not working

Hi, so I have this x61s laptop for 6 months and decided it wasnt what I am looking for so i wanted to sell it. I tried to restore it to the factory setting and everything went fine. last thing i did was remove the BIOS password, I did. and it seems that there is a power on password I cant change it. It says I put in the wrong code. "but I only use 1 code for every password".... I have no idea what to do. Now when i restart it asks me for the power on password which I dont have, and nothing I can do about.. please help.. it cant even boot up.

Power on password error

I have an HP Compaq nc6200 laptop in which I have set up a power on password for. The problem is, when I try to enter my password, it does not work. I can enter my password up to 3 times then I get a little picture that looks like a circle with 3 lines sticking out the top and bottom. Is there a way I could solve this?
Thank you!

Refer to the link mentioned below which is he manual for this particular model and check under the heading
"1.2 Resetting the Computer" and follow the steps to clear the password.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=447371&docId=emr_na-c00622160&docLocale=...
Remove the main battery and the RTC battery. and then power the notebook up with AC power. That is supposed to clear the password.

Power-on password problem

i have a hp mini 2140 and I took the cmos battery out, disconnected power and battery, let it sit for 2 hours, pressed power on switch maybe to discharge any power left in the system. Plugged ac power in (cmos bat not connected) powered up and I still get the power on password with pic for a key, you make three entries and then you get the big asterick symbol, no code, and then you cannot do anything else until you power it off and then when you power back on and your back to the power on password request. I then replaced the TPM module with another one from a system with no power on password requirment. No luck.

Hi,
Unfortunately, business machines have more stringent security than consumer models - they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial No. and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case.
If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password - the only other method that will work on these machines is to replace the bios chip - an example of what you require can be see on the following link.

HP 15g000 (15gt) laptop administrator/power on password needed. Error code after 3 tries= 88816924

Hi: My friend bought a laptop and after a couple of months it immediately asks for the Administrator password or Power On password. They bought it from "fingerhut" who says they will do nothing. They have not even completed paying for it yet.I have removed all batteries, even the one supplying the CMOS. It then says it will reset the CMOS to default, but it then still is asking for the password. Is there a password or utility to fix this? thanks.

Hi: Please read this post which should resolve your dilemma. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/System-Hal... Then... You can: 1. Use the unlock code you generated to enter the BIOS
2. Disable all passwords that are enabled in the BIOS's security menu.
3. If asked for current password - type the unlock code
4. For new password, just press ENTER key
5. Repeat the same for verify password column.
