ReconRat Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Something like that happens on IBM/Lenovo S50 desktops. But it's not an admin password, it's a user password at boot. Removing the BIOS battery or using the sysbd jumper to dump BIOS settings has worked for those. Then update the BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
