Hi everyone,
I have a HP 840 G5 that is admin password locked (abandoned from a company). I have been trying a good way to unlock it and reading up on almost the entire thread here it seems reading out the 32MB chip patching it with RCUnlocker is what most people say. I did this (was a Winbond 25Q256JVEQ chip) and to my surprise RCUnlocker told me that the 32MB file was not compatible and I should try a 16MB file. My two questions to anyone who could bring more insight:
1. Is RCUnlocker indeed not compatible with 32MB BIOS files? It seems a lot of people have run it successfully
2. Is it so that SOME 840 G5 are password locked in the 32MB BIOS and others in the 16MB? It seems very inconcistent.
Thanks in advance!Leave a comment:

Ok, so figured it out and will post the solution in case someone has the same issue. Unlocking the 32MB file did not to the trick. Used RcUnlocker on the 16MB chip and that did the trick it is now unlocked. Many thanks to all of you and thanks Peste!

Not sure if this is important, but when I boot and press F10, before getting the Bios Administrator Password screen, I get this screen which say PROPERTY OF GHD then the HP logo and then the message Protected by HP Sure Start.
I tried looking for the string "PROPERTY OF GHD" in both the 16MB and 32MB files but did not find anything. Not sure what to try next?Attached FilesLeave a comment:

Hello,

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.... -

Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.
I have a few questions:- If I would buy this laptop and have
