After reading my 760C documentation concerning this, it would appear the supervisor or hard disk passwords are not resettable, as you were told by IBM. Since I've not heard of any way to get past this, your request has prompted me to provide my supervisor password to management, just in case. If by chance you do find a way, please let us know it's possible. I do like this feature though. The stories I've heard about securing PC access on boot, floppy or idle timeout using some add on security software is rife with support problems and system crashes. And we know that using non volatile memory for power on password is just an annoyance to thieves and the like. This method avoids messing with my operating system(s) or boot record. All computers should have this security feature. It should make the system less attractive to theft if it can't be used without replacing the system board and hard drive.
