remove cmos battery for about 10 seconds.

for a better result remove the battery for about 5 minutes, because sometimes it needs more time :)

shatta,

don't forget to hold the power button down for 60 seconds and remove the main battery as well.

If Jeff's method fails, you will need to take it apart and find the bios password chip on this and solder wires to it, boot it up and touch them together

This works on dell's, so i have confidence it will work on this too being they use the same chip for IBM's and it works there too

It works on IBM and dell's, i don't see why not for a panasonic, but it will be harder to find the ATMAL password chip because this was designed for the military and such, so it's more secure then a dell or IBM

I had to do it on my T60 one time, that's how i know it works on IBM's

This video shows how to short the bios chip and another on doing it

here is the motherboard removal guide

Yes it is the same answer are right but same times works some times not

baboba,

Like I said, my T60 is a business laptop, so it was less secure, but had a password based ATMAL chip and less secure

1) Locate and remove the RTC battery

2) locate and remove the main battery and unplug power supply.

3) depress the power button for 30-60 seconds.

you do not have to solder anything to the board if there are posts ic 61,63 on MAIN PCB then just put a jumper across them while you power up. if its just 2 SMD pads just use a needle probe to arc the connection.
