I believe it would be changed by going into the bios. I think you may see an option on boot up just after LENOVO splash...<F-1>....maybe </div>

<b>Subject:</b> [Hidden-tech] How do you turn off the passcode requirement on a Lenovo PC laptop?</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi, folks, I haven't asked a question in a while and I'm trying to proactively ask this before it prevents me from using my computer. I have a 2018 Lenovo laptop. When I got it, it was my only computer and I was taking it on trips, etc. so I
enabled a passcode on startup/wakeup. But now I have the Mac I inherited when my stepfather died, which is much lighter and less bulky (although it's several years older than the PC). But bit by bit, the Lenovo keyboard is failing. So far, luckily, the specific
keys in my passcode arestillworking. But the x, z, and spacebar are all unreliable and I worry that at some point, one of the keys in my passcode won't work and I won't be able to use the machine. I got an estimate for replacing the keyboard/keypad assembly
and it was more than I want to spend on such an old machine.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way to remove the need for the passcode? This computer hasn't left my house in several years.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!<br clear="all">
