There are 3 kind of passwords:
SVP - in eeprom
POP - in the RTC clock chip aka CMOS
HDPs - master+user, in HDD.

If the 0x338-33E and 0x340-0x346 are empty, then the SVP is not set, remove the CMOS battery to loose the POP (is any).
For HDD, well, replace the drive or buy our HD secuirty tools Smile

Hi Jose,

Nice to see you again.

As you know, HD Security tools license is $145.
I remember you unlocked your T43, but had problems with the locked drive. Do you want to revive that I presume?

BTW, you can email me anytime for details.

Regards,
