Removing Master Hard Drive Password

I bought a second hand IBM T42 and discovered that it has a USER+ MASter Hard drive password.
I know the USER PASSWORD so I can log-in. However I will like to alter the MASTEr password and I am wondering if a complete reformatting of the Hard disk will help me do it.


Any other suggestion to get rid of the Master Password (when it is not known) is welcome too**!


I couldn't find a definitive answer online and any explanation is appreciated.


Thanks in advance!


**I am not interested in Data Recovery at this point.
