IBM laptops employ a tighter security sheme than Desktop PCs that we're familiar with.

if the administrator/supervisor password is enabled and you forget it, sorry ka na lang 'coz resetting CMOS by any means doesn't clear that password.

IBM is using another security chip where that administrator/supervisor password is written into, and the only way to get rid of that password is to replace the motherboard if you have forgotten it. unless you're a super techie anyway...
