0183 or 0189 I don't remember exactly, but it's important

Try this one just to see if it unlocks. We'll change the numbers later.

I've already uploaded this unlocked file from the AMD platform. These 4 errors appear and the laptop immediately shuts down.
The problem here is the SVP error. I already have a manually edited file from my batch that also has the SVP error. Maybe you guys can fix it there.

Why L14/15/16 always a pain to do?

If you just press enter, you can tell me the BIOS version.
Have you tried a full FF?

Now, I can't access the BIOS. After entering the incorrect password three times, the laptop shuts down. I have screenshots of the BIOS taken some time ago, showing how I was able to access it. I haven't tried flashing the FF file alone, as I'm afraid the laptop will be dead after that.

Okay, thanks.
So now we know you're on version 1.14.

I already had a problem with danito and volinakis where we had to downgrade EC to be able to clean it.

I hope it will be possible to unlock it. I've been struggling with it for a month now, and there's no result. Unfortunately, I have no experience editing EC\KBC batches, and I don't want to completely damage it.

Try this one! You might get a lot of errors like in the picture, but try F1 anyway.

I temporarily connected the battery, and now I can access the locked BIOS. The password is still there; I'm prompted to enter it immediately after powering on. All model data is erased. I took a few pictures of the BIOS. When I try to exit the BIOS, a message appears.

password disabled ??
Don't worry about the error messages at the end when you type F10


Enter a blank password twice and clean the security chip as well. pour clean 0187 error
Use LMU or Golden Key for rewrite the serial number and others information.

It is not the supervisor password that is activated, but the system management control. ???
It's not the same thing, but where is this one stored? In the BIOS, maybe?



Do you have access to the boot menu? F12?
Try cleaning the EC with Golden Key.
Dump operation /clean eeprom

The dump data will be used to create a clean model for future L16 Gen1 or equivalent models.
Ideally, perform a cleanup and then read the data using SVOD.

After pressing F1 the password is still there. All functions in the BIOS are unavailable and cannot be changed.

you just posted a pic with SVP disabled, using Maxpower3's file... Don't load bios defaults or save, type a new pass or blank it, clear security chip then save bios settings.

"The system you have is part of an enterprise deployment order with a custom BIOS configuration performed at the factory during production.
This service, offered to businesses, allows for simpler and faster system deployment."

There must be some traces left somewhere in the BIOS.
You should try a clean BIOS to see if it disappears.

You saw the photos, everything is disabled.
He does not have access, it remains (greyed out).


How do I create an unlock code using a QR code?
Which utility should I use?

If the bios password is gone and the options are greyed out then a new bios dump will work

Yes, that's all that's left because I inserted another EC file for testing (L14 gen3), and the QR code keeps appearing and the BIOS is still greyed out.

I have two SPI chips on my board. One is a 25B512MFYIG, the other is a 28B128ESIG. Need to clean two batches?

I have both batches ripped. Maybe someone can help me unlock them.

Now we know that it's linked to LenovoCertAuthDxe
There must be some variable that's lurking somewhere.

Will someone try to unlock and clear this BIOS?

try 512 but no guarantee that it will work
