    I'm testing the security characteristics of an IBM Thinkpad A30p laptop running
    Windows 2K Professional and using EFS for some files/directories.  The machine
    is configured with Power On, Supervisor, and Hard Drive Passwords.  Getting past
    the Power On password was trivial.  However, I'm stuck on the other two.  Does
    anyone know a relatively easy way to bypass or crack the Supervisor and Hard
    Drive passwords on an IBM Thinkpad?
    
    Thanks.
