Quick #thinkpad #linux question! I was given an older Thinkpad 400s, but it's got a BIOS password on it.. and it seems like the only way to get around it is replace the bios chip?
I actually have a bios flasher, but can't find the raw bios image.
Any other ideas of how to clear this password or find this bios file
