Hello, the autopatcher only works on 4th to 8th generation Lenovo notebooks. Everything after that doesn't work.

Your notebook is 9 generation.

so there's no other way to remove SVP computers after 8th gen ?

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Hello, I don't know if this is helpful. But are all 6 resistors leading away from the EEPROM still intact? They're quite happy to be torn off by clip, not because it looks like this.

Done ...

hi markus, thanks for your response, but the machine is gen 8 core i5, not gen 9

here a picture of the bios, the original bios you can access the bios, but cant change anything because of the password

It's not related to CPU Generation.
T590 is 9th generation of ThinkPad. Autopatcher just works until 8th Gen T580,T480,X280...

For T590 you need Vertyanov or SVOD to remove password from MEC chip

Hi. Can anyone help me with this?
Right after patching the file and the command terminal disappears the Patched file just deletes itself.
Can someone patch it for me or find the password on this bin file?
I will really appreciate it, please.

Maybe you can't use DXE method, because your device is 10th Gen.

Yes, It's 10Gen.
Do you know if there is any other way to remove the supervisor password on this version?
Thanks

Yes, It's 10Gen.

I think you need to reprogramming the EC chip using a proper programmer.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Problem: Lenovo x250 that only beeps on startup after autopatcher.

Winbond flash chip "W25Q128.V" (16384 kB, SPI) on ch341a_spi

This is my first time so be gentle...
I studied this thread and other resources very carefully but I must have missed something. I wonder if it was because I did it on M1 mac? Other than that I have no idea. Please help this poor computer come back to life 🙏

Method
Patch the dump
1. read BIOS chip -- Flashrom compiled on M1 mac
2. create dump file
3. do it again 2-3 times
4. compare
1. diff 1.bin 2.bin
5. Patch the dump (used python 3.10 on M1 mac using Parallels)
autopatch file_you_want_to_patch.bin

Flash and Restore the BIOS
1. Flash and replace current BIOS with the generated patch file-- tried renaming to 1.bin-- tried using a patched BIOS from this thread — https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...4&d=1604423061
2. Disconnect HD
3. tape down anti-tamper switch
4. hold BIOS button and Boot the machine — machine won't boot with button pressed, had to press it afterward

Result: GETTING ONLY BEEPS for my trouble
————— couldn't go further ———————
5. press enter for BIOS settings
6. Enter any character when asked for Supervisor Password
7. Press enter when it shows Hardware ID
8. Press space bar 2x when asked
9. Turn off machine
10. Restore original BIOS
11. Reset BIOS settings to factory default

**Original dump old1.bin attached
**Patched file 1.bin attached as well

Here are the files. I guess I needed to zip them first 😅

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Things have gone from bad to worse. I wrote the original bios file back to the chip and now I can't even get the machine to turn on...

Are the resistors that lead away from the chip okay? Not that it looks like it. A photo of the current chip would be very helpful.
