Thinkpad BIOS password reset questions

Thinkpad BIOS passwords are tricky things. I recall them not being dependent on a simple removal of a small CMOS battery but stored in some sort of special thing, it's been awhile since i had to look into this.... however on a model as old as what i am working on not sure if that is applicable or not.

Click here for the work around. Click here to purchase a new password storage chip for your laptop. Replacing the chip will solve your problem, it cost a bit more than the work around, but is an easier fix. The fore mentioned solutions are for the Supervisor password, which is the hard one. There are jumper pads in the RAM compartment to reset the power on password.
