This was fascinating!
I love Lenovo laptops. A friend bought an old T420 from 2011? It was a refurbished business laptop which had a bios password on it so we couldn’t fix the date time after replacing the cmos.
A quick Google and found you can reset the bios by shorting 2 pads together and then jumping into the bios. It would bypass the bios password and allow us to remove it. It was a fun experience.
