    RC unlocker fails, while the two others generate a file, but upon flashing it, the laptops are still locked.
    Sorry, I forgot to post the serial numbers, here they are:

    after restoring my original bios ( your unlocked bios didn't work ), the laptop won't turn on. power light blinks 6 times and caps lock light keeps blinking. pressing the power on button doesn't seem to do anything.

    Only bios and EC, your computer can't be opened with bios then EC is the only way. Or you can solder wires to the extra pins to see.

    Need Help With CH341A Programmer & BIOS Password Removal (HP Elitebook 835 G11)
    by KingCracked123
    Hey everyone,

    I recently bought a CH341A programmer, but I’m still not 100% sure what to do next. I couldn’t find any tutorials specifically for the HP Elitebook 835 G11, so I’m trying to piece things together.

    From what I’ve learned so far, the process looks something like this:
    1. Use the programmer to read the chip.
    2. Save a backup of the dump.
    3. Open the .bin file in Hex Workshop.
    4. Replace certain lines with “FF”.
    5. Write the modified file back to the chip.
    6. Boot the laptop → password should be gone.

    I’ve also heard that some systems have both a Main chip and...

    [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
    by zenius
    Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

    Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

    I tried :

    HP Omen 15-dh0052nf power-on & bios password
    by Nopslide
    Hello everyone, I come here to tell you my problem regarding the power-on password. It is not a bios reset demand, and i can't have any access to windows. This is the bios and power-on password that is blocking all other things.

    My Omen 15-dh0052nf purchased second-hand was configured with the bios password upon purchase (very simple password :P ).

    Having decided to sell it in order to get something more powerful, I reset all BIOS settings and set a blank administrator password. But the power-on password cannot be changed to a blank one so I let the actual password set....
