OK mother in law loaned out her old IBM r40 when it came back it had a password on it when asked the the person said humm I don’t rember. Well now it ends up in my hands. I tried the clock battery removal no luck. It shows a it shows the IBM splash screen then goes to a lock with the number 1 next to it and I think that means its a supervisor password. Could just be a HDD not sure. But I do know thinks to the security chip I’m locked out. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is an IBM backdoor Bios password “merlin” all lower case no quotes…Let me know if it works…
