Penetration Testing: Penetrating a Thinkpad

I'm testing the security characteristics of an IBM Thinkpad A30p laptop running
Windows 2K Professional and using EFS for some files/directories. The machine
is configured with Power On, Supervisor, and Hard Drive Passwords. Getting past
the Power On password was trivial. However, I'm stuck on the other two. Does
anyone know a relatively easy way to bypass or crack the Supervisor and Hard
Drive passwords on an IBM Thinkpad?

Thanks.
