      here you go

      i removed a password form your file (i hope)
      flash and test
      also you should be able to reset nvram (security)

      Resetting NVRAM

      Shut down your Mac.
      Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
      Turn on your Mac.
      Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound.
      Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time.
      Release the keys.
      test and report back

      also i think you will need to reinstall cos this clears efi password not os password but you will now be able to boot install cd or usb

          Hi I have a Question:
          I have a couple (Macbook Pro's, Air's and Retina's) all with (EFI firmware locks)
          I'm pretty good with component level repairs and programming etc... I generally use a
          (MiniPro TL866 Programmer) to program the EFI bios chips and I have a question in regards to editing a locked EFI Chip on the mac's

          After desoldering a Macbook Bios chip placing it in the (MiniPro) reading
          the chip then opening the Bin File with a Hex-Editor is there a way to delete the Serial Number from the file Bin file so that I could use that same Bin file on multiple MacBooks of the same model ?

          For instance when I ordered a EFI Bios chip from China all I had to do was solder it to the
          macbook book and i booted without having any (Serial Number) imbedded..

          If anyone could help it would be much appreciated

          Here is a Picture as to what section of the Bin i'm referring to:

                    🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
                    by macabook
                    Hello everyone,

                    I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
                    🧩 Initial Issue
                    • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
                    • External display (HDMI) shows
                    ...

                    [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
                    by cr4zychriss
                    Hello everyone,
                    I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
                    I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details

                    ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
                    by pirati
                    Hello everyone,

                    I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

                    When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

                    I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...

                    Dear Forum Readers!

                    I'm looking for a BIOS modder or anyone with experience who would give me suggestions about my razer blade's BIOS settings.
                    I can view and edit the content of the BIOS .bin file with AMIBCP BIOS editor.
                    The BIOS files I'm working with are from badcaps.net and those are CLEAN BIOS files (anyone can find it with the search string: RZ09-0421).
