    Lenovo Thinkpad L380 Bios locked

    Hello all,

    I have been battling for a while trying to fix this bios but for some reason I am failing at the patching stage. Been trying the autopatcher from following link: lenovo-autopatcher

    The laptop details are:

    Lenovo Thinkpad L380
    I5 Generation 8
    Model : 20M6S1VV00
    Serial number: W1KS89C10HD

    I would like this laptop to have a few more years of being useful but have almost given up on it.

    Many thanks for any help.

      Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Gen 3 AMD locked bios
      by fulaphex
      hello friends - I have purchased a used Thinkpad X13 Gen 3 AMD variant and only after making the purchase I realised that the BIOS is locked. I have spent a bit of time browsing the forum and from what I understand it's possible the modify the BIOS that is currently on the machine and remove the password from that BIOS. For dumping the BIOS from the laptop I have ordered this ch341a programmer. Below is a photo of the password prompt:
