Lenovo Thinkpad T495 AMD bios password locked

[Acnologia]

Hi I need to patch my Lenovo t495 to remove the supervisor password .
I cannot use the autopatcher because the t495 is not Intel but a Ryzen.
I make a dump of original firmware and now I ask your help to patch it.
Please can you help me?

board code: FA495 NM C131 REV. 1.0

It doesn't work ,what you are asking
You need at least the SVOD4 or the Vertyanov.

Unfortunately, I can't do this, I don't have enough knowledge.

The first try didn't worked out and the bios beeped 5x times (wrong checksum). UEFITool revealed the wrong hash:

FfsParser::checkProtectedRanges: Phoenix protected range [BB0000h:F30000h] hash mismatch, opened image may refuse to boot
RelativeOffset: 00BB0000h Size: 380000h
Hash: 894F0EC4AAE777028ADC60150B10ECE724FC165E6530129DD6B56E45623192E6

With the help of HxD i calculated the SHA256 of above range and replaced the old hash with the new one (search the old hash and replace it with the calculated one with help of HxD). A boot with manipulated checksum and patched BIOS binary worked. Supervisor password was removed. Thank you very much!

Donation incomming (:

Hello!

I use Autopatcher to create the open bios, the machine starts, but only beeps. screen is black. I am rewriting the original bios, it works, but it has a password. What could be the problem?

Awesome, it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for your help!

If you don't mind sharing your knowledge: How did you create this BIOS? I would like to learn.

Hi everyone,

I have a Thinkpad T495 (AMD Ryzen).
I tried to disable the BIOS supervisor password and Computrace, but I failed.
Can you please help me?

What I did so far:
I tried the autopatcher but wasn't able to succeed (black screen, beep sounds, fan spin, but no boot).
I flashed back the original BIOS: system works, but supervisor password is still active.

I attached the dump of the original BIOS (verified by reading it multiple times)

Model: 20NK (20NKS53V00)
Serial number: PF25PGKQ
BIOS version: R12ET62W1.32

It would be great if anyone could help me.
Thank you :-)

volinakis, I sent you a message, I saw where we went wrong

[lashamafia]

No both files not worked, only this patched file by DYCC worked,

[volinakis]

good news but be more explicit: is patched file working?

[lashamafia]

Replaced bios chip and now it's working, thanks for your reply,

[volinakis]

and if chipset is MX25L128 replace it with another one, i.e W25Q128, I had many troubles with this kind of chipset after erased 3 times.

[lashamafia]

Backup file is good i flashed it before an laptop was started, but now when i flash it it's not booting,

[Maxpower3]

startup can take a long time, sometimes several startup cycles before the light

[volinakis]

It means you read bios chipset with errors, that's why Maxpower3's file didn't work, he's very good in modifying bios in a proper and working way. That's why is better to read Bios guides made by masters of this forum before doing modifications of the bios, they recommend to read bios chipset 2-3 times and compare results, if they are the same it means you got a proper bios dump.
