I don't care about the data on the laptop (I will probably flash it and install some Linux distro on it). The drive is encrypted with VeraCrypt and unless you know the password cannot be used to boot to an operating system without formatting it. I found zero instances of PIM with relation to ThinkPads but found several instances of Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) connected to VeraCrypt.ĭoes anybody know what I can do to remove/bypass the password prompt? The prompt in question, more than likely, is a VeraCrypt prompt. It makes a short beep and then very shortly flashes on the screen: I opened the laptop, removed the battery and the CMOS battery, and after a couple minutes I reconnected them. To remove it I followed instructions such as these.
Since the password prompt is a black screen with just the letters Password: in white I assume it's a BIOS password. I've got an used ThinkPad which asks for a password.
