There is no way to recover the bios password (e.g. find out what the password was).  IBM can "reset" it, but you will have to provide proof of ownership and there may be a fee.  If you do a web search or download the service manual, you may be able to discover how to reset the password yourself.  If a hard drive password was set, you may have far bigger problems than just the bios password.

I have never seen a modern laptop (since the early 1990's) on which any backdoor password worked.<br />

That's why he should keep his hopes low (the 570e isn't the most modern model, so there may be a chance). I have seen some notebooks of approx. year 2000 vintage where backdoors will work,

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
