I would like to comment on harddrive passwords. Once a harddrive password is set...if it is forgotten, you cannot... CANNOT.. reset it or get around it. That
is a design of the Thinkpad that noone else (to my knowledge) has. Put that in another thinkpad and it just won't boot. We tried that with a couple of X24's
and X31's at work.
