What model thinkpad is it? There are instructions that reference a shortable contact inside the DIMM area on the bottom of the laptop, so you may have luck with that.

Subject: [MSUNAG] thinkpad problem

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?
