    MBP A1278 - UEFI password

    Hi
    I have a few MacBook Pro A1278 with the same UEFI password. Is it possible to read the password from a dump file? Will the password be saved in the place shown on the following screenshoot? If so, how to decrypt them?
    Regards

      For older Mac, add or remove a RAM stick and do 3 PRAM reset. Password will be gone.

                  [REQUEST] ASUS TUF A15 FA506NF (2021) - Clean BIOS dump needed (UEFI Password locked)
                  by ArkzG
                  Hey guys, I have an "ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506NF (2021)" that's locked with a UEFI password, I need to reprogram the BIOS chip but can't find a clean ".bin" file for this specific model, I've tried the official BIOS updates from ASUS support page, but they're 32MB updaters that don't extract to a usable 2MB .bin file for direct chip programming.

                  What I currently have available:
                  - Model: FA506NF (2021)
                  - BIOS chip: GD25LQ16 (16Mbit/2MB)
                  - Tools: CH341A programmer ready to use

                  Does anyone have either a clean 2MB .bin dump of this model,...

                  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....

                  by dchandler@lifetimeservice
                  Hello,

                  Could someone help me out either decrypting the administrator password, or removing entirely? Password was forgotten by user.

                  Current BIOS firmware version is X521FA-305

                  surface laptop go 2 uefi password
                  by Odinotux
                  Hi everyone, I bought a Surface Laptop Go 2 but it has a UEFI password lock and Linux encrypted with a password is installed on its disk. I can only access the grub text menu. I think the recovery partition has been deleted. Booting from USB is disabled. Is there any hope or should I send it to a service center to reprogram the bios? Thank you

                  by outsider
                  Hello
                  I removed the BIOS password thanks to the help of one of the friends of this forum.

                  The batch from which the password was removed works correctly but... after some time, the BIOS password is set again, I reprogrammed the batch with the removed password, it's ok, there is no password, I set my password, ok, I can enter the BIOS with my password but...
