Hello hoaca388, I got a question about your THINKPAD_X280_Type 20KE.rar file. Is it a clean BIOS, as if it was flashed by the factory? (Or did you patch the OPs BIOS?)

I think I need a factory BIOS for the following problem: I tried to enroll my own secure boot key and accidently removed all the other secure boot keys. Unfortunately, the X280 strictly requires some keys (apparently because of own option ROMs) and ends up in an endless tight boot loop. There is no chance to enter the BIOS, or boot from a drive. Message: Configuration changed - Restart the system

There is no factory bios for Thinkpad models because Lenovo only releases bios Update for Thinkpad models.

There is no factory bios for Thinkpad models because Lenovo only releases bios Update for Thinkpad models.

Ok sorry, I should have made myself clearer. I wanted to know if this is a clean BIOS in the sense that it doesn't contain any user data like passwords and the like. So basically as if I'd reset the BIOS data to factory defaults in the BIOS itself?

What I need is a BIOS that contains the default set of secure boot certificates so that it can load its option ROMs again. I also hope that there is no BIOS downgrade protection, because I was already on the latest BIOS released March 2025 when I accidently deleted the secure boot certificates today. I hope that after flashing this with a programmer, I can update to the latest version again using the normal BIOS update procedure.

I don't care about data loss, but I want to make my device usable again.

I have managed to flash the THINKPAD_X280_Type 20KE.rar file to my X280, and the BIOS boots again, but it has got a password set (icons: person + lock). I have no idea what kind of password this is, and what the password might be (as it is not my own).

Does someone have a clean BIOS file for the X280? I mean one without any personal settings like passwords, one that I could flash and then reset to BIOS defaults?

Note that I'm not asking to remove a password for me. My problem was a corrupt BIOS by accidently removing a secure boot certificate..
