    For newer machines (2012-2018, 4th to 8th gen Intel), the password itself is stored in the EC. BIOS must be modified and re-flashed to insert a special driver that will allow bypassing the BIOS password.

      Thank you.
      I'd really appreciate it if maybe someone could help me with this because due to the nature of the job, I can't afford to take the time to study all those password removal procedures. But thank you for the links and I will definitely study all these procedures in the future so that I know how to solve such problems myself.​

                  Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
                  by RMDUiFT
                  Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.

                  I have a few questions:

                  [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                  by zenius
                  Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                  Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                  Problem:
                  I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
                  Initial Findings:

                  • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.

                  • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.

                  I'm trying to reset my bios without success.

                  I tried :

                  -I removed the BIOS battery and main battery. Waited for a long time but it didn't work. They already stated in the user manual that the password will not be reset even if the batteries...
