Hi all, I have a Lenovo Y40-80 that I am trying to remove the Admin password for. There is a password screen that comes up immediately that I can input a user password for (Pic 3) and this will allow me access to Windows or the BIOS, but a majority of the options are grayed out in the BIOS (Pic 4).
I have attached a picture of my overall chassis and a close up of the chip that I have read (using CH341A and AsProgrammer). I output two files from the chip and compared them (fc /b) and they were the same. I patched the first file (the file felt like it processed too quickly) and then wrote it onto the chip. I started the computer and nothing had changed, it quickly just showed the password screen again. I decided to compare the original to the patched files and they were the same, so it seems like things didn't get patched correctly.
Could anyone patch my original file or guide me to where in the process I've gone wrong? Thanks
