Im working on a laptop that a friend bought from someone. It has a password set to where I cant even get into the BIOS I've tried F1,F5,F11, and F12 to try getting to the BIOS.
When I press F5 on start up I get ERROR 0210:stuck key 3F. It is an IBM Thinkpad t23 It has WIN 2000 PRO stickers on it. Can anyone help?

Why doesn't your friend contact the seller and ask him/her what the BIOS password is? Didn't your friend boot up the machine before purchasing it?
