We own an IBM T40 ThinkPad Laptop we purchased as a corporate off lease return. The seller provided a password that he said was applied to all areas where a password would be set.
We are now receiving a message that the password will expire in 2 days and do we wish to reset the password. Will this deem the laptop unusable once this happens?
I have tried to reset the password by using the password sent to us with the purchase papers and then entering a new one but a message says the user or password isn't correct. I've tried using uppercase, etc., but nothing works.
I realize no one would want to say how to get around this if you knew and this is understandable. I just need to know if the laptop will stop booting up when this password expires? Even though we've owned pc's since 1990, I've never used a password. I'm at a loss as to what this expiration of a password means, what the results will be when it expires.
Any advice as to what to expect will be most appreciated.
Mary
