Re: Please help with unlocking BIOS password from bin file Lenovo X380

Flash using programmer.

What programmer do you use?

I tried with Intel FPTW64.exe and it says BIOS is locked.
I tried with AFUDOS from a bootable USB and it says BIOS not recognized.

Maybe a confusion. By programmer did you mean the CH431 Asprogrammer?

Ah OK, sorry. You were referring to the hardware programmer. CH431A Asprogrammer again.

It's just that I was trying to avoid disassembling the laptop again and inserting the clamp. I thought that now that the laptop starts up I could do it from Operating System.

Hi. It works great. With ME and fast boot. Thank you.

For knowledge purposes, how did you make the image?, more or less, with my serial number. Because I was trying the ME cleansing procedure, without much success.

I just copied the serial number from the old file.

I just copied the serial number from the old file.

First I flashed an image published in this thread from another laptop. ME had problems but Serial Number was preserved. So, is Serial Number outside of the BIOS, somewhere in mainboard?

What image did you use? some standard factory image with clean ME?
