I cannot explain for the detail, you need many trial for that...
but if you sure the password is store in the bios chip,
After you get lockedbios file, and you must get update file from vendor, i usually use uefi tool and hexeditor, to mix that files...
in most cases you have on vendor support site bios with no password, then hex copy serial and model info in unprotected file and flash that file

This is my experience password bios case in this month,when there is hard to find CLEANDUMP bios file out there...
this notebook is :
LG-GRAM 14Z950 PASSWORD POWER ON;3x wrong input, the system will be disabled and no hashcode...
i have no schematic,but i am sure if the password is store in the bios chip MX25L12873F,
Tools:
-any SPI Programmer
-UEFITool
-HexDump
-7Zip
in short words....
1. With any Spiprogrammer(i use the olddevice LPT-NANOBIOS+willem software),you'll get the file DUMP.BIN(16MB)
2. Find the update file (14Z950FB_x64.RAR)from LG site, extract 14Z950FB_x64.RAR with 7Zip.
Find the \\BIOS\14Z950FB_x64\.rsrc\1042\FILE\177 (7.641KB) (no extensions)...177 file is updatefile.
3. Now you have 2 files : DUMP.BIN(16MB) and 177(7MB)
4. Open that 2 files with uefitool(to verify) if the biosregionfile from 2 files is exactly...
you will see if the dumpfile DUMP.BIN(16MB) is full bios with (including descriptor region,me region,padding,bios regions(8files)),but for the 177(7MB) only bios region with padding, and 7files.
Now compare 2 files, and find the identical files module from biosregion.... i got 6 files identical (guid name and size)
5. - With UEFItool Replace "6 files identicalbiosregion" DUMP(16MB) with extracted "6 files identicalbiosregion" from 177(7MB)
- Or you can use Hexeditor to copy/insert biosregion with help detail from uefitool (to get exact offset and size biosregion file)
6. Save this file as newfile.bin(16MB), now you can close uefitool-177(7MB).
7. Remember if newfile.bin(16MB) is blank serial nr,etc....to insert new serial nr,you can use LG_DMItool (like HP using NBDMIfit),,
8. if you dont have dmitool, For the Serial Number etc,(writedown from bottom case),And you can use uefitool again to search sn from DUMP.BIN(16mb) for replace again to newfile.bin(16MB) OR you can use HEXeditor....
your file ready to flash to chip...
