Not likely.  There is a guy on TechSpot names Rustam who is famous for
password removal... bit I don't know if he has ever done Thinkpads.  I have
never heard of anybody removing T21 passwords.

There is a shorting technique for passwords programmed into an eeprom, that
might work, but it also wipes out the ability to use the Thinkpad recovery
discs.
