For those who don't know what I'm talking about the X22 is perfectly
servicable without the password. It boots fine, I can install new OSs
without any problems. It's the BIOS that is locked, meaning I won't be
able to turn off certain ports if I needed to. At least everything is
on. As for asking the owner, this was a lease return machine purchased
off of ebay.

Lawrence, I wouldn't have a problem an interface board and soldering
leads if I had a clear concise set of directions on a procedure and a
set of instructions on what to do with all this hardware. Do you have a
site I should be looking at?

Thanks

I guess I'm unclear.

Was there *not* an owner?

Most changes can be effected by using the IBM Configuration Utility for your
OS.

Yes, provided there are no changes in your system (new HD, added memory,
etc.), you won't be asked for the SP password.

So, you're good to go until your CMOS battery dies!

BTW, the SVP often sets the HD password by default, so I would be scrupulous
in backing this unit up on a regular basis. Once this puppy dies, more than
likely you won't be able to access the HD on another machine.

Regards,

James
