                  The original file was uploaded and the second one was uploaded after the problem occurred.

                          I will tell you my "adventure" with L14 gen 3 intel: I had 3 pcs, 1st I read SIO without main battery and CMOS batt and all went well, no errors, SVP removed.

                          At 2nd, being lazy I just removed keyboard to connect SVOD4 (without removing battery and CMOS batt), read SIO, filled same area with 00 and surprise! password still there! I did read again SIO and compared with original backup and noticed that something similar with strings I filled with 00 is starting with adress 3FC62 but it wasn't in original backup. After I filled that section with 00 password was gone! Bottom line, must read SIO without battery and CMOS batt.

                                      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:
                                      • If I would buy this laptop and have
                                      ...

                                      Hello everyone,

                                      I need help with BIOS password removal for Acer Aspire 3 A315-22G laptop.

                                      Device Information:
                                      - Model: Acer Aspire 3 A315-22G

                                      - BIOS Chip: Winbond W25Q64 (8MB)
                                      - Serial: NXHE7ER00X95002B784S00

                                      Problem:

                                      - Boot from USB is disabled in BIOS
                                      - After 3 wrong password attempts, system shows Unlock Key Hint
                                      - I have RT809H programmer available

                                      What I need:

                                      by badzymandiaz
                                      I have a laptop that was purchased second-hand, and I am able to boot Windows on and extract the BIOS dump (ONLY the BIOS region, I was unable to dump anything else due to an FCERR I received trying to dump the other regions) and use normally. However, because the BIOS is locked with a supervisor password, I am unable to use anything else except for Windows, and it has also disabled some hardware features of the laptop itself, such as the fingerprinting module, etc. that I really do wish to use.

                                      I have been digging around for nearly 2 weeks trying to find any mention of the same model...

                                      Dell Latitude 5530 BIOS Password Removal Attempted but I Broke the Laptop

                                      Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.

                                      I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...

                                      Hello

                                      I am working on removing password for this lenovo thinkpad L13 type 21R8 bios
                                      Below is two images with the key chips to remove the password.
                                      I have removed the MXIC chip (with the bios arrow on img below) and posted dump as well.

                                      I am not 100% sure if the MXIC is the one needed to patch or the winbond or gigabyte?
                                      If anyone can point me in the right direction would be awesome!

                                      Cheers
