    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:

      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.

      1. just entering a blank password as I've seen where if it's an admin password instead of a user password, I can enter the BIOS as user and still enter Windows. I still receive Invalid Password, I'm assuming this means it's actually a user password or both user and admin password.

      2. I've removed both the main battery and CMOS battery, disconnected...

      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....
