I have a user with a Thinkpad. The user changed the backup battery and after that when he tries to boot it up, when the BIOS is booting, a black screen comes with a little computer and lock icons and asks you for a password. I searched the problem and it seems to be a common problem, people refers to it as a BIOS password. I didn't heard the term. But nobody has a solution. Any ideas? -- Oscar Castaneda Michigan State University
