My friend has an IBM Thinkpad 1400 series laptop.

The BIOS battery died and he bought a new one and had it installed.

The machine will no longer start up because he is being asked for a BIOS password, which he has never had to use before.

Is the machine now dead and that he will have to buy another machine or is there some way that he can get around this problem ?

thanks for any help in advance,
