From: Mandy Cuthbert on 27 Feb 2006 02:46 Hi. Whenever I power-up my IBM Thinkpad T20 laptop, the following error occurs: 0271 - Check Date and Time Settings I am then prompted for the password (CMOS password?) which is always prompted, but when I type the password, it doesn't accept it and after three attempts it locks me out. Can someone please help me determine what it is I have to replace? Is it the Li-Ion battery (Fru P/N: 02K6627 / ASM P/N: 02K6621)? or is there like a CMOS chip somewhere I have to replace or is it the small Panasonic CR2032 lithium round battery that is connected to the motherboard (i think) once the battery is taken out (IBM P/N 02K6541 / FRU P/N: 02K6572).. If I can identify what needs to be replaced then I can buy the part to do this.. if someone can help it would be sincerely appreciated as i'm hopeless when it comes to computers/laptops. Thank you.
From: Woody on 27 Feb 2006 08:20 Go to the IBM support site and download the hardware service manual for your thinkpad. The instructions to reset the cmos password should be in it. http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/productselection/landingpages/downloadsDriversLandingPage.vm&validate=false "Mandy Cuthbert" <mandac(a)cothmail.com> wrote in message news:4402ae64$0$30674$afc38c87(a)news.optusnet.com.au... > Hi.

Don't confuse a hardware password with any password you might have set in Windows. Chanses are that you do not have any Bios password. Try enter nothing at all. Lars Stockholm |
