So is this the solution for unlocking new model lenovo's
replace 3 dxe drivers for all model?
Not all Lenovo but the business class models - mainly Thinkpad line - stores password in a 2KB sized EEPROM inside the SIO. This EEPROM can't be accessed/programmed via regular means. Its also said that this is where the machine stores TPM Certificates also. Some Romanian reverse engineering guys found a way to reprogram and remove the password without losing DMI data, TPM data etc. They use a custom BIOS code which can do this. Of course they are selling it for a high price. As far as i understand, the nice guys here are trying to reverse Engineer the code used by the Romanians and create a free solution.
I am waiting on some items to come so I can dump my bios from a T460 ThinkPad. Soon as this last remaining stuff finally arrives in the coming week I will dump the bios chip and try to do the same stuff. Will report back on how I go and if I need any help. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and helpful.
It will be good if someone unlocks their laptop using this method, post here so we know we are doing good.
I searched and searched the internet for a solution and I found it here.
Does anybody have files needed to patch newer Lenovos?
I mean, there are LenovoTranslateService and BootOptions sections but no SystemPpisNeededByDxeCore. Is it not needed or are there different files used?
And I have tried, the 3 files posted in this topic really do work very well. I have tried them on Carbon X1 2nd gen which is a 2014 year model.
3 files LenovoTranslateService and BootOptions sections SystemPpisNeededByDxeCore only for laptop lenovo 4 gnerration but 6 7 and 8 generation There are three ways to make a patch

Hello
fyaagoub write something more about these ways for 6 7 8 generations
Looks like 6th gen (X260 or similar) needs 2 or 3 files. LenovoTranslateServices and BootOptions and MAYBE fingerprint driver which was mentioned before in some post. Not sure about the last one because I haven't tested without it.
I've just got my bits needed to dump my T460 bios via a Raspberry Pi + flashrom binary over SPI. I used one of those clips to attach to the BIOS chip. Was able to dump the BIOS fine.
The machine has some power related condition and I am still deciding if I should spend the money to have someone to unlock it (or not). I am not sure we have enough to perform it ourselves on here - but I guess I will give it a go.
