    The IBM has a security chip in it, so there is no simple way to reset it. A special chip has to be replaced on the motherboard.

    I think IBM can do this for you if you can give them a copy of the invoice and it is not on their stolen list, and they will charge you over $200 to do it from what I've heard.
