Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

I figured out my problem.

Hi!

Finally registered for an account after yet another Google search led me to a discussion here that helped with a project. I've got more projects in my future (restoring my old Abit BP6 dual Celeron to its former glory, for instance) that may be of interest to folks around here too.

This was the post BTW, thanks to everyone that posted in there for helping me with some troubleshooting/recapping of a similar unit to fix a different set of issues.
