Attention: If the user HDP has been forgotten, check

whether a master HDP has been set. If it has, it can be

used for access to the hard-disk drive. If no master HDP is

available, IBM does not provide any services to reset

either the user or the master HDP, or to recover data from

the hard-disk drive. The hard-disk drive can be replaced

for a scheduled fee.

Supervisor password:

A supervisor password (SVP) protects the system

information stored in the IBM BIOS Setup Utility. The SVP

must be entered in order to get access to the IBM BIOS

Setup Utility and make changes to system configuration

settings.

Attention: If the SVP has been forgotten and cannot be

made available to the servicer, there is no service

procedure to reset the password. The system board must

be replaced for a scheduled fee.

How to remove the power-on password

To remove a POP that you have forgotten, do the

following:

(A) If no SVP has been set:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Remove the battery pack.

For how to remove the battery pack, see “1010 Battery

pack” on page 61.

3. Remove the backup battery.

For how to remove the backup battery, see “1050

4. 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.

(B) If an SVP has been set and is known by the servicer:

1. Turn on the computer; then, while the “To interrupt

normal startup, press the blue Access IBM button”

press the Access IBM button.
