          Does it have EFI Password or Activation Lock?
          Activation Lock is the same as iCloud Lock on iPhones. Not sure if you could get around that.

                  macOS Catalina allows you to block the firmware from showing the seed that Apple needs in order to remove the password. Type this in Terminal: sudo firmwarepasswd -disable-reset-capability.

                      Hey Siddig, can I ask where or how you managed to find the uson chip on your model? I cannot find it any where on my board. it supposed to be a 4mb chip. my board is: A2141 820-01700-A
                      Thanks

                        Hey Siddig, BTW, do not try unlocking it via the image. I unlocked mine using another mac. just link them both and then you can unlock them. now the reason I want to dump the image is because I want to modify it.

                              EFI is stored on the encrypted NAND chips and fed to the PCH by the T2.

                                wrong wrong wrong! the 4mb bin its only thing you can do is change serial no unlock!
                                4mb bin you can read and manage with neo, if you have a good macbook and copy efi free bin to the same locked macbook dont work, also read locked mac and after unlock read again and compare and change is not working! activation lock is not only linked in serial!

                                ps the chip is a wson 2x3 1,8 volt

                                    Have you guys considered hijacking the iCloud dns and pointing it to a local server that is emulating the correct response to report that it is not locked just long enough to unlock it to disable secure boot?

                                          I accidentally locked myself out of my MacBook Air 2017 after a failed OpenCore installation. I need an SCBO file to reset the firmware password.

                                          Hello,

                                          So I this MacBook Pro Retina 15.4-inch (2018) A1990 laptop that suddenly will not charge or start. It was working fine before. It would charge and was starting up normally from sleep. The only thing abnormal is that it seemed to be getting battery health warnings. Maybe a precursor of what was to come. Let it sit in sleep mode for about a week. Now it seems completely dead. Seems like no power at all. No lights, no fans, no screen, no touchpad clicks. Battery charger, which is apple 87w, doesn't get hot at all when plugged in. Charger will charge an iphone just fine though....

                                          Password removal on MacBook Pro A2159
                                          by mferna14
                                          Hi friends., I am working on MacBook Pro A2159 touchbar 2019. The old logic board was liquid spilled so I ordered another logic board from AE. Received it & all worked fine till I got to the Chinese login screen where the login screen password tobe entered. I tried to reset the password but it again gave me options which I do not know about the Apple ID. I formatted the onboard SSD. & wanted to change the startup boot sequence but in order to change it, again the password is needed for that too. Is there a way to get rid of this password?? The seller has not replied back past 2 days, how...

                                          VSX-1021 - Update Error 1, DSP replaced, potentially need working firmware dump
                                          by weisian
                                          Hi all,

                                          I have a VSX-1021 that dropped the UE22 error on me and is no longer was working. I've then done the following:
                                          1. Tried updating the firmware with a firmware I found online but it hangs at 20% and ultimately shows "Update Error 1". I didn't check prior to attempting the firmware upgrade but the firmware after shows "***" for the DSP numbers. This was before I looked online that pushing an update through with a bad DSP chip could corrupt the firmware.
                                          2. Tried reflowing the original DSP chip (D810K013BZKB4000) but firmware version remains "***"...

                                          HP 255R G10 – BIOS Admin Password Locked, Cannot Enter BIOS (Need Guidance / SMC.bin Help)

                                          Hi everyone,
                                          I’m working on an HP 255R 15.6" G10 Notebook PC that has a BIOS Administrator / Setup password I cannot bypass. I can boot Windows normally, but F10 is completely blocked unless the password is entered. I do not know the password.
                                          This is not a Power‑On Password. This is a BIOS Admin password stored in NVRAM, and the system will not allow BIOS access at all.
                                          I’m posting here to get help identifying the correct procedure, dump, or method needed to clear the password on this model. System Details
