Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

It works ...

Thanks Markus!

PS: Might be a problem running it on ubuntu 22.04. It has Phyton3 out of the box. Therefore I had to change the script from phyton to phyton3. Furthermure I gave execution rights to "autopatch" and both UEFIReplace-Executables. But then still I get the above libQt5Core.so.5 error. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Hello, I'm trying to use the auto patcher in the bios of my p52s but it gives me the same file or I can't find the new bios generated.
Can someone please explain to me how to apply the patch correctly?
I am attaching my bios in case someone can help me patch it.
Thank you so much!!

But you start the right script with the command:

python3 autopatch.py P52S.bin

Please don't ./autopatch P52S.bin, that won't work.

Maybe my screenshot will provide some clarity, so of course I've been doing this all the time with a shell script.

Thank you very much for the help
I managed to remove the password and access the BIOS. I thought that by logging in I could correct the BIOS ACPI error but I couldn't

Hi there, new user here. I have a question. I have a Yoga x1 gen 3 (20LE) with 8th gen cpu. Will this tool work being it "... up to the 8th generation"? I would like to remove the supervisor's password for disabling Computrace.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Hi. I have found all the replies you pointed out. I'm not reckless. The same model can be configured with both 7th gen and 8th gen (check PSREF here https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...445f7384e6.pdf ).

Only one comment (by caputcha) mentioned 20LE, but again, I'm not sure if there is 20LE with 7th or 8th gen processor.

"Only one comment" - I don't know if you are reckless or not, but you are clearly lazy since you obviously didn't even look at the last link in my post:

In fact, what exactly do you want - written guarantees from the creator of the tool or what? In post #1 it is explicitly stated that the tool can be used at your own risk, try it or continue using your laptop with a locked bios, if you find another easier and/or secure way to remove the password feel free to share it with us.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Hi all, i was given a Lenovo X240 but supervisor password locked.
On top of that the i cannot boot into Windows OS as it goes into this:

Recovery
Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

"The Boot Configuration Data file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system".
File: \BCD
Status: 0xc000000e

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disk or USB device) contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.

I could not change the boot as its disabled.

Any advice please?

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Hello,

This is just to let you know that I was able to successfully remove the supervisor password from my X270 (which I bought as "used" without being told that there was a supervisor password set, which the previous owner did no longer remember).

Using Ubuntu 20.04, I tried follow the instructions given in the first message. After making autopatch and tools/UEFIReplace executable and changing python to python3 in autopatch (since I use python2 as default here), I was able to create the patched bios and upload it. When booting with it, I first got some strange CRC error messages and at least two automatic reboots, before I got indeed exactly into the sequence described in the first message. After reinstalling the original bios, I got again the CRC error message, but it disappeared after loading the default bios settings.

So now my X270 got finally rid of the supervisor password and I owe a BIG THANK YOU to Knucklegrumble!!!

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

how to install lenovo autopatch, and i try to install also cant open autopatch

You don`t install it,its a standalone program.The instructions for usage are at post #1

From command line use either autopatch.cmd (Windows) or autopatch.sh (Linux) as follows:

autopatch <your_bios_image.ext>

THAT'S IT!

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

I tried this method in a Thinkbook 14s-IWL, I made 2-3 dumps with a CH341A, when I use the program with any of the dumps it give me this error.

"Using UEFIReplace to inject 2 DXE drivers...
[1/2] BootOption (GUID e0746c42-d3f9-4f8b-b211-1410957b9ff5)
tb-14s-iwl-20rm.bin is corrupted or does not contain a valid dump.
There was an error... Aborting."

The bios chip is a W25Q128JVSQ.

And the EC is a Lenovo IT5576E-128.

Is this model compatible with this method?
