Thank you.

I've done some more research in the link you gave me and through your posts where you short pins with ground to remove the password. I've looked up for schematics for the thinkpad e495 and I found LAD, LPC and ESPI pins. Are they accessible on the motherboard? If I short them will the password reset work?
Thank you.

Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
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 the bios password removed, do I need any special tools to do so? Can the dumping be done without requiring physical connections to chips on the motherboard?
- In the autopatcher tutorial thread, the instructions are unclear. From what I understand, after I run the autopatch.cmd with the bios dump, should I flash the patched bios file within the bios menu?

Hi everyone,
I’m working on an HP 255R 15.6" G10 Notebook PC that has a BIOS Administrator / Setup password I cannot bypass. I can boot Windows normally, but F10 is completely blocked unless the password is entered. I do not know the password.
This is not a Power‑On Password. This is a BIOS Admin password stored in NVRAM, and the system will not allow BIOS access at all.
I’m posting here to get help identifying the correct procedure, dump, or method needed to clear the password on this model. System Details

I have a laptop that was purchased second-hand, and I am able to boot Windows on and extract the BIOS dump (ONLY the BIOS region, I was unable to dump anything else due to an FCERR I received trying to dump the other regions) and use normally. However, because the BIOS is locked with a supervisor password, I am unable to use anything else except for Windows, and it has also disabled some hardware features of the laptop itself, such as the fingerprinting module, etc. that I really do wish to use.
I have been digging around for nearly 2 weeks trying to find any mention of the same model... -
Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.
I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...
