NEC VersaPro PC-VRT42FBFR22B BIOS problem

[trouble55]

Hi All,

[Mother board model]
V-VE212(U3E1)

[Serial number]
24000135PA

[BIOS chip model]
Macronix MX77L12850F

I am having some problems with the BIOS of my Versapro PC-VRT42FBFR22B.

I extracted the BIOS file (versapro001.bin 16MB) from PC-VRT42FBFR22B ROM (MX77L12850F) using CH341A and NeoProgrammer V2.2.0.10, but I don't know how to remove the BIOS password, so I can't open the BIOS even if I boot with F2.

I also downloaded the BIOS update package (933A0400.zip) for PC-VRT42FBFR22B from the official NEC website (https://support.nec-lavie.jp/driver/...odule_no=11756).

However, I don't know how to extract the BIOS firmware from the package.

In this situation, could someone please provide me with another BIOS data or extract the BIOS firmware from the attached update package (933A0400.zip)?

Once I receive the BIOS data, I would like to update the ROM using CH341A and NeoProgrammer V2.2.0.10.

Or, if you could tell me how to remove the BIOS password from versapro001.bin, that would be even more helpful.

Additional note: I also looked at "BIOS guides, methods, resources and tools", but there was little information about NEC's BIOS, which is why I'm asking this question.
