HP Z2 G5 Mini - BIOS Password Removal

[Chopster1986]

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?
