How to remove the hard disk password

Attention: If User only mode is selected and the user hard disk password has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the service technician, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized service technicians provide any services to reset the user hard disk password, or to recover data from the hard disk drive. To put the system back to operational status, the only Lenovo and Lenovo-authorized service solution would be to replace the hard disk drive or solid-state drive with a scheduled fee.

1.Turn on the computer.

2.When the ThinkPad logo is displayed, immediately press F1 to enter the ThinkPad Setup program.

7.Type the current master hard disk password in the Enter Current Password field. Then, leave the Enter New Password field blank, and press Enter twice.

8.Press F10 to save changes and exit the ThinkPad Setup program. The user hard disk password and the master hard disk password have been removed.
