Hello Lovely Question-answerers!
I have an IBM Thinkpad laptop.
I Knocked it off the domain, have no local admin password. OOPS! So…..
Searched Q&A, located reset tool, burned ISO file to CD.
Opened BIOS settings, changed boot order to CD/DVD 1st boot for both the BIOS options found there (standard and network?). Won’t boot from CD, jumps straight to OS.
So…. excluded all except the CD drive from the boot order, still won’t boot from CD, says no OS is found.
Found another layer affectong boot order = “Intel Boot Agent”, witha ‘network boot protocol’ which has settings I cannot change. Not sure what this is – perhaps put in place to prevent me doing just what I’m trying to do??
Any suggestions? Should I try other reset tool CDs/ another copy of the CD I’ve already made to ensure that it’s not just a glitch with the first oen I made?
Or is this little challenge going to get really exotic?
Cheers,
Sophie
