    Thinkpad E15/E14 Gen 2 administrative lock/password location

    I am just reading thru peoples' request to unlock administrative lock/password for Thinkpad E15/E14 Gen 2 notebook. I am trying to figure out where this lock/password is located. Is it in the bios chip or SIO? Can someone, please shed more light on this for me? Thank you.

      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:

      I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen(intel) that has an supervosr password set, and I need some help removing it. I have a programmer and have read and re-written BIOS chips before, but am not finding any info on how to do this on a T14 Gen 4. Here are the details:

      Model: 21HES40C00
      S/N: PF4HMJJMX

      I can upload the BIOS file as well, but not sure which chip it is, I will post pictures for reference, guessing it is one of these two:

      ASUS GL503VM-BI7N13 Bios password lock
      by birdboy385
      Hello All,

      I have the aforementioned laptop that I just purchased on ebay that was listed as having a BIOS password. Sure enough, on boot it requests a password. Here's the troubleshooting steps I've tried.
