So, uh, I'm locked out of my BIOS?

Hey, everyone...
This is a bit of a problem. It turns out that I've been locked out of my BIOS. I haven't really had much occasion to use it, but now I want to tinker and I've been locked out. I'm not entirely sure when it happened, but it may have been around the time that I installed Vista :-\

I'm dual booting XP and Vista on a T60 2613EJU... I've got the T4200 running BIOS Version/Date LENOVO 79ETD4WW (2.14 ), 6/7/2007

Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it? Should I just reload the BIOS? I have a hard disk password, and a BIOS password, which I remember, but I can't enter it! It just keeps beeping at me and saying something along the lines of a "System Supervisor" has disabled changes. If you guys need any more information, please let me know.
Also. Where, exactly, is Lenovo's web support? I've tried all over and all I get is a "page cannot be found" error. Is it just down or what?

 

Can you give us more details? What exactly does it say? Does it request a password?

 

oh wow you shouldn't have stolen that guys laptop and then tried to mess with his bios...



time to make phone calls to lenovo.

 

Okay, I'm posting pics.
I don't know about the quality, so basically what it says is "All items on this menu cannot be modified in user mode. If any items require changes, please consult your system Supervisor."
If I could only navigate down to the "Supervisor Password" I'd be okay but I'm totally locked out. WTH.

 

Umm.. yah i think the only way to fix this is to call Lenovo.

I would make the joke that masterchef said... but thats just mean XD

 

You should be promted for pasword when you first access the BIOS. If you remember the Supervisor password you should be fine, enter it and disable the Supervisior password option. If the password you enter does not match the password that has been set you will have to replace the motherboard in order to get back into the BIOS setup.

 

See, the thing is, I enter that password, and I can get into the BIOS, but once I'm in, I can't change anything. Could there be multiple passwords? I don't think there should be, right? I also used my fingerprint, and it let me in fine, but still locked out. Any ideas there? If not, anyone have a quick number that I can call Lenovo at? I'm lazy, lol.
Thanks!

 

Yes, there are two passwords. First is user level access password, the second is the supervisor level access. You keep entering the user level access password; if you remember the supervisor password you should enter it instead.

 

Thanks... now off to rack my brains.

 

Yup, got it. Different password. I am dumb.
