    I can't remeber my BIOS password. Is there a program available for download that can retrieve it for me.

    I run Windows XP on an IBM Thinkpad A31.

    Not sure about my motherboard(although I think it's IBM based) or which version of BIOS I have.

    Hi Drwebi,
    Simply starting the laptop without the BIOS or CMOS jumper will clear the password. You may be able to eyeball the motherboard to find the jumper or else you can find it in the documentation on your laptop. What you're looking for is a schematic of your mobo.
    Cheers,
    Bob
