[Traceyph52]

I purchased an IBM THINKPAD R-50. I DIDN'T CHECK IT BEFORE PAYING. ITS LOCKED. IS THERE A WAY TO DO A FACTORY RESET?? <email redacted for your protection>

Take it back to where you bought it and make them unlock it.

If they can't unlock it.

No one should be helping anyone bypass a password for any reason.

Err, oops?

Ask the people you bought it from.
