The enabled kdm password is only beneficial for the case that the laptop
is unattended *and* powerd on *and* sitting at kdm's login prompt.
This would almost never be the case for my laptop, so I have long
disabled the login password.
FWIW, (less than stone old) Thinkpads have the reputation that it is
rather difficult, if not practically impossible, to break the bios
password.
YMMV,
