unlock password on thinkpad x260

x260 supervisor

Hello,
Bought a used laptop years ago, cant enable the virtualization on it becuase of supervisor password so here I am.

I couldn't find anything detailed explained for X260, and I'm a total noob.

1. Where is EEPROM located on the board, do I need to disassemble the whole thing, or is it a case of popping a back cover?

2. I have the CH341A, I don't have a SOIC8 clip, I have almost f* up another board trying to de-solder the eeprom from it - it wasnt a laptop. So I guess SOIC clip is a must

3. What when I get to read the EEPROM data ( i have heared it's around 16 mb )
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ad.php?t=87588
-Download this, run the scrip on my original dump and flash it on the laptop EEPROM ?
And it's a job done?

STEP 8: Restore original BIOS
- I again reflash the original that I've read off the laptop eeprom?

Cheers

Re: unlock password on thinkpad x260

Hi! I've tried some of the files on here and also used the autopatcher on my own bios dump, but the laptop always gets stuck on the boot screen with the big lenovo logo where it says "press enter to interrupt blablabla" (yes, I pressed enter, nothing happened).

Can someone help me please? I've attached the bios dump below.

try

Re: unlock password on thinkpad x260

Did you desolder in order to read chip? Then solder it back with the patched file? If so, resolder chip, I myself use hot air then the iron tip just to make sure the legs are fully seated. It happened to me twice on two X250, there was a lot of lead (not needed) under the Bios chip. I just took it all off.
By the way, I have had bad luck with reading chips with the wired clips, I don't trust them.

I tried desoldering chip and soldering in programmer and to my suprise it worked. Laptop is turning on and the password is removed. Before I tried with clip, I checked couple of times if writing was correct and everything was, so I don't know why that happend.Thank you very much for your help.

Re: unlock password on thinkpad x260

Here is your patched file, follow instructions on #20.
For search purposes, it is recommended that next time you open a new thread if asking for password, this one is for x260, not x240.
By the way, both the original files are the same, good job on making at least two, they are extremely important.

Thanks you for your reply and forgive me for posting in this thread regarding different laptop model. Unfortunately after fallowing instructions and flashing original bios file laptop doesn't turn on, it just flashes 3 times with power button and backlight keyboard flashes one time. Nothing happens other than that.
