The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ibm, password, bios, t42, thinkpad

Hi Guys,

I'm doing this for one of my best friends:

The shown above in the title of the Q, simply lost the BIOS Password how can i retrieve it, Is there a backdoor password, or resetting password using resetting jumpers, or batteries, as i used to do whenever a PC BIOS Password lost, I'm asking this because some experts told me IBM Make it very difficult to reset it to higher the security, but this seems to me ridicules, because what if i lost it, and i need to retrieve it like this case?

I've seen some links:

http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-bios-password.shtml
http://www.tech-faq.com/ibm-thinkpad-bios-password.shtml
http://ryxi.com/security/89-369-reset-root-password-read.shtml

But unfortunately nothing works.

Any help please...

Regards.

Naser
