Whenever I power on the laptop, the memory count is displayed, followed by the numbers 161, then 163 After that, an icon that looks like a lock, with a picture of a monitor (screen) next to it is displayed waiting for a password. I'm not sure of what the password is... Looking at various websites, it looks to be a Supervisor password, but I'm not sure I've even set one before... Does anyone know of how to reset/remove this password prompt? I thought it might be the backup battery, since 161 means "dead battery" and

I'm trying to repair a IBM Thinkpad 600 (2645-850) for a friend of mine. At first http://www.maxperience.com/en/laptops/detail/answer/129928/ibm-thinkpad-600e-errors-161-and-163 I got the errors 161, 163 and 173. I purchased a new backup battery from ebay and the code 161 disappeared. I'm now stuck with errors 173 and 163. When I turn the computer on these errors appear and I'm taken to ibm thinkpad the a screen where I can set the date. After I do it I press OK. Then I hear two short beeps and the computer freezes, though I can reboot it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del and start the process all over again. Is the mainboard at fault? ps: The HD is damaged and the battery does not charge. I think these are unrelated issues, right? Any help will be appreciated!

The suggestion was to replace the RTC battery. You said you did, so maybe it is bad, and maybe the main battery needs to be replaced so the system will charge. The errors appear to be related to your problems. ...

I know the backup battery I bought is good because it stores the date I enter. If I enter the date 2006/04/23 -> press OK -> computer freezes -> turn off -> wait for a while -> turn on again, the date will show up as 2006/04/23, not as 1998/01/01 as it used to.

Try the reset button right above the power switch. you will need a pen or paperclip because it is recessed. Then try to setup the bios again. That should get it.
