ThinkPad™ Password Solutions
to
recover and change or remove unknown or forgotten Passwords and Repair CRC
Errors
This site is dedicated to ThinkPad™
(TP) owners who
find themselves locked out for whatever reason,
they don't know
the Power On Password or Supervisor Password or Hard Disk Password or
encounter a BAD CRC1 or CRC2 ERROR displayed on their TP.
TP owners will have subsequently discovered, to their absolute amazement,
that the manufacturer of their beloved TP offers no economically
viable solution. The manufacturer does not have a policy to help genuine legitimate owners
out of this predicament without paying, in some cases more than the TP is
worth, to replace for no sane or logical reason their perfect and fully functional
System Board!
I
know
it's difficult for you to believe that it really can be done
Since early 2002, many people have successfully recovered
their TP Password by following my methods, check out "Joe in
Australia ThinkPad password" by searching on the net. You may find some people who are upset about my
service not being provided for free. However, they all agree the information is
accurate and my procedure works.
Obviously
you arrived at this site after being informed by the manufacturer of your TP
that it can't be done.
You
have most likely received a hefty quote to have your confirmed as
"fully functional" System Board [they call it a PLANAR BOARD]
removed and replaced with a new one for no good sane logical reason.
You
don't even get to keep your replaced System Board, it becomes their
property, when I asked what happens to the replaced System Boards, they told
me that "we just throw them away", throw away a perfectly good
fully functional System Board, right! Where are all the good
environmentalists when you need them.
Let
me assure you that your unknown password(s) can be recovered from your TP
without having to replace the System Board at great expense to YOU, lots of
people around the world have successfully used this method, it does work, it
is not a joke or a hoax.
If
you suspect or believe that my method could not possibly work, or that this
is all simply a con or a bad joke, then search the Internet and confirm for
yourself what other people say about this web site.
My
original web site was established in January 2002, if my method did not work
as described, newsgroups, and forums on the net would be full of reports to
that effect.
If
you decide to have your System Board replaced, that's fine, go ahead and
have the manufacturer of your TP replace your confirmed fully functional
system board and in the process transfer a substantial sum of money out of
your pocket, if that makes sense to you and you feel more relaxed with that,
I can't argue against such logic.
Using my Key Maker Interface, Software and
instructions I have helped to successfully recover unknown Passwords from many
TP's in the following countries;
Argentina, Australia, Belarus,
Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech republic,
Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan,
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Korea, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico,
Mozambique, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Spain,
Sweden, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, USA, Venezuela, Yugoslavia
and others.

passwords and email them to you.
A small amount of delicate soldering is involved on most
models, not all, some require no soldering. If you are not
confident about soldering then you should seek assistance from someone, local to
you, who does have some electronics experience even if it is only at a basic
hobby level. They can also assist you to follow my password recovery procedure.
Your
TP can be quickly and easily transformed from a useless expensive door stop
into a fully functional TP without it ever leaving your possession, you
perform the work yourself, the TP stays safe with you, no shipping or
insurance costs, no risk of your TP being lost or damaged in transit
and you don't have to worry about trusting that your TP will in fact be
returned to you, no extra charge for recovering all passwords including hard
disk password if present, plus your bank balance will not suffer.
