I would say the previous message(s) are most likely coming from an IBM Thinkpad.The message means a password has been applied to the system BIOS either at the factory (unlikely), by the owner (possible) or by a computer repair shop (highly likely). I would think that most systems have no BIOS password when they leave the factory, but in the interest of "security" someone has applied one.Some computer repair shops like to apply BIOS passwords to systems to keep the owner from making any changes to their system configuration and inflicting more problems upon themselves.It could also be that the computer repair shop applies a BIOS password to prevent the owner from making any changes to the system when they might want to in order to drum up more business. The repair shop will claim to have no knowledge of the BIOS password and/or not share the BIOS password they applied with the owner and make the owner think another trip to the repair shop is the only solution.Depending on the system make and model (unspecified here), clearing the BIOS password is generally a trivial matter.If you have this problem, identify your system make and model for help learning the procedure. If you do not know the system make an model, you can still figure it out a solution in other ways.Do, or do not. There is no try.I need YOUR votes and points for helpful replies and Propose as Answers. I am saving up for a pony!
