It is in the Hardware Maintenance Manual Volume 2: Thinkpad Computers.
I have the October 1994 edition.

On Page 256:

How to Disable the Power-On Password:

1. Power-off the computer
2. Open the keyboard and remove the battery pack and the diskette drive.
3. For Models 355x, 360x, 755C, and 755Cs, remove the attachment holder.
4. Install a jumper on the power-on password connector at bottom left
side
of the system board.
5. Reinstall the diskette drive and the battery pack.
6. Power-on the computer and wait until the POST ends.
7. Verify that the password prompt does not appear.
8. After the service check is completed, remove the jumper.

To reactivate the password, set the password again.

There is additional information on how Supervisor and Hard Disk
Passwords
can not be overridden.

Additional Notes:

The attachment holder is a insulator cover on the left side of the
computer.
It appears to be under the diskette drive and is held in place by one
4 mm screw.  Note: When reinstalling make sure both batteries are seated
correctly.  Check that the insulator cover is in the correct position by
sliding
it end to end.

The power on password connector is to the left of the two battery
connectors on the underside of the system board.
