      bios? sounds more like a windows type of malware... never seen a bios do that. you sure it's bios?

      FYI- you cannot reset the password on a laptop's bios. its a security thing that has been standard for a long, LONG time.

      guess it or get a new mainboard (or bios chip if it is removable, most are not).

          You can do anything with a soldering iron and EEPROM reader/writer.

              For a Sony, there's software that Sony puts out for resetting the password on their laptops....only problem is, you have to find an authorized sony service center...and hope they'll do it for you. I'm told that when the software is ran, it works a lot like Microsoft's activation for Windows, Sony has to issue a clearance code, based off the serial number of the motherboard itself....so its kind of a pain in the ass....or so I'm told. I've never witnessed this, just been told by a TV servicer who happens to be factory authorized by Sony.

                  I tried a lot of options and it's like I should be the original owner before i contact sony service center or have the original receipt for the laptop which I don't think i can get

                      TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" Bios Password Problem?
                      by traxformania
                      Hello,

                      I'm using TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" model laptop for over 3 years and i'm entering the same bios administrator password everyday. My laptop has Aptio BIOS (American Megatrends, AMI).

                      But today it's not accepting my password. I'm %100 sure i'm entering the correct password.

                      I'm trying to reset my bios without success.

                      I tried :

                      -I removed the BIOS battery and main battery. Waited for a long time but it didn't work. They already stated in the user manual that the password will not be reset even if the batteries...

                      by Nopslide
                      Hello everyone, I come here to tell you my problem regarding the power-on password. It is not a bios reset demand, and i can't have any access to windows. This is the bios and power-on password that is blocking all other things.

                      My Omen 15-dh0052nf purchased second-hand was configured with the bios password upon purchase (very simple password :P ).

                      Having decided to sell it in order to get something more powerful, I reset all BIOS settings and set a blank administrator password. But the power-on password cannot be changed to a blank one so I let the actual password set....

                      Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
                      by RMDUiFT
                      Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.

                      I have a few questions:
                      • If I would buy this laptop and have
