I have a bunch of IBM ThinkPad R30's with system password's on them, and I was wondering if there was an easier way to reset them rather than opening them all up and flipping a jumper switch.
 
Unless you get lucky and find an option in the bios that resets it, your only option that I know of is removing battery or using jumpers. Wait for more post just in case though.
