Hi everyone 🤗
I have a Lenovo MIX 320-10lCR computer.**
1. **Operating System**: Windows 10 ** Education** 64-bit.
2. **User Account Restrictions**: The account I'm using has heavily restricted permissions via **UAC** and **Group Policy**. This means I cannot install any software without admin rights, adjust system time, run Command Prompt as administrator, or modify the registry via Regedit—all are blocked.
3. **BIOS Password Protection**: The BIOS is locked with a password, preventing me from installing a new operating system.
4. **BIOS Chip Reflashing**: Currently, I'm unable to reflash the BIOS chip myself because I don't have a programmer.
5. **BIOS Backup Attempts**: I tried backing up the BIOS through Windows to extract the password, but all methods failed due to insufficient admin privileges.
**Additional Info**: The OS is connected to a domain named **SERCOL**.
**Request**: If any forum member has encountered a device under the same domain (**SERCOL**), perhaps they managed to extract the BIOS password. It's possible the password might be reused, so any help would be appreciated!
