This is a 570E ThinkPad being taken apart to recovery the password. This is just a run down on what you might have to do, but it is always a good idea  to look at your Hardware Maintenance Manual to find out how to take your ThinkPad apart. Here is a link: IBM ThinkPad Hardware Manual Link

There are a lot of screws to your ThinkPad so find a place to put them into.

Start taking off some screws !

I recovery the Password without soldering onto the EEPROM, by using the Micro Grabbers! This way it is easy instead of soldering onto the EEPROM. Once you are done, Just put everything back like you took it off!! Sound easy for me to say this! But this was hard for me too. Enjoy!
