Hi,
I am currently trying to remove the BIOS Password. I have a W25Q128JV chip which stores my BIOS on.
I have checked the manual online and it says that pin 7 is a /HOLD or /RESET.
If I shorted pin 7 out by adding it to a ground would it remove the BIOS Password?
4.6 Reset (/RESET)
A dedicated hardware /RESET pin is available on SOIC-16 and TFBGA packages. When it's driven low for
a minimum period of ~1µS, this device will terminate any external or internal operations and return to its
power-on state
4.4 HOLD (/HOLD)
The /HOLD pin allows the device to be paused while it is actively selected. When /HOLD is brought low,
while /CS is low, the DO pin will be at high impedance and signals on the DI and CLK pins will be ignored
(don't care). When /HOLD is brought high, device operation can resume. The /HOLD function can be
useful when multiple devices are sharing the same SPI signals. The /HOLD pin is active low. When the
QE bit of Status Register-2 is set for Quad I/O, the /HOLD pin function is not available since this pin is
used for IO3. See Figure 1a-c for the pin configuration of Quad I/O operation.
