Hi all.
I bought a thin client, HP T730 that came with locked BIOS. Nothing worked to reset it (jumper etc.), I tried everything. Even tried to put a random password three times to get a "final" lock code, but nothing happens. I can access BIOS, but cannot change anything, and that's where the main issue is. The PCIe slot is disabled which makes this unit useless.
I am not sure what route should I take now. I was going to do some additional research, but cannot get to the actual BIOS chip. This is the first time I see a clip like this. How in the world I can remove the BIOS chip from the slot (see the attachment, it is not soldered.)
Also, I would appreciate any advice at this point. What possible options do I have?
Thank you all in advance.
