    Lost/Damaged BIOS password on Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1

    Hi, the password set on a ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 doesn't seem to work anymore or was forgotten. Is there any way to possibly remove/reset it?

    It has tamper protection too, so removing the back'll force the BIOS password prompt unless someone knows for sure, I don't want to open the machine.

      BIOS password on newer Lenovo's is in the embedded controller, not the BIOS chip. There are some removal methods, but it depends on what EC is on the board.

      You'll will have to open it and determine what motherboard is fitted, or what EC is installed and go from there.

        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,...

        Lost bios password on HP Spectre Pro 13 G1 (X2F00EA)
        by jerem57m
        Hello,
        I hope I'm in the right place to make my request. Now that I've made my presentation, I'd like to make a request regarding a 2017 HP Spectre PRO 13 G1 laptop. I have a lost BIOS password. I really don't remember setting a password on this computer, and after changing the battery, the computer no longer wants to boot without it. Can you help me remove the password?
        I read on the forum that someone who had a model similar to mine managed to remove the password, so I figured with any luck I'd find some help here.
        Exact information:
        Product: X2F00EA
        Trade name:...
