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 and generation, but received mixed results and nothing that has verifiably worked. So, I am posting on this forum in hopes of getting some help from people much more experienced than I am!
Device: Thinkpad P14s Gen 4
Device S/N: PF4RTEFN
Motherboard S/N: L1HF419003T
Thank you in advance for your help! Please reach out to me if you need any further information/clarification. For some reason I'm just not able to upload the bios dump file due to an extension error... so I used .txt instead. I think the binary contents are intact.
