    HP Z2 G5 Mini - BIOS Password Removal

    Hi All,

    HP Z2 Mini G5 (PN 4J5W3EC)
    Serial number: 8CN1450K3T
    Board Number: G5-6050A3153001-MB-02(A2)

    It's got a BIOS password currently - I've got CH341A and managed to connect to the left chip (Winbond W25Q128JVSQ) and pull a BIN file, I tried RC Unlocker and reflashed but besides the PC saying it was completing a BIOS update it's kept the password. I can't read the other chip (Winbond W25Q256JVEN) currently without removing it from the board (I'm really not a fan of soldering so might need to get someone to do that!)

    The other chip I can't connect a chip clip to so would need to remove if required - I'll upload the BIN

    Thanks!

        Not understanding that one - pull strings - pull the chip you mean?

            [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
            by zenius
            Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

            Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

            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...

            HP Omen 15-dh0052nf power-on & bios password
            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....

            HP ProDesk 400 G6 mini - BIOS Password attempt to remove it
            by beBoss
            Hi,

            as noobie to this please excuse my lack of experience.

            I am trying to remove a BIOS password from this machine:
            HP ProDesk 400 G6 Mini

            but so far I still have no success.
            I bought CH341 programmer and decided to give it a try.

            The programmer came with 8 pin cables and connectors or whatever everything else is called so I had to buy a new 16 pin cable because the chip which I think is the BIOS is with 16 pins..



            I connected everything and downloaded AsProgrammer and NeoProgrammer then installed drivers...
