that annoying chip password is an anti theft device of sorts. it keeps information safe in the event the laptop is stolen. you're better off giving it back to the owner, cuz there's no way in hell you'll disable it. looks like the BIOS password is doing it's job...:usa:

that worked but then i have a error, saying the i should log on using the default windows... same thing now ctrl alt del and password(same as the IBM loggon thing) it's so annoying!!!
BTW it's XP... sucks that IBM doesnt let you disable this feature. It's a cool feature but i just dont want it!
