Do Not Forget Your Supervisor Password!
Note the password and keep it in a safe place.
If you forget your supervisor password, there is
no way to reset
your password or recover data from the hard disk. You have
to take the computer to an IBM authorized reseller or IBM
marketing representative to have the system board replaced.
Proof of purchase is required, and an additional charge might be
required for the service. Neither an IBM authorized reseller nor
IBM marketing representative can make the hard disk drive
usable.
If you are using more than one hard disk drive, see page 125.
