        That worked, thank you so much! Any guides you can point me to on how to learn the process of editing these BIOS dumps?

        One item of concern though, when I first started setting it up and connected it to the internet after doing a fresh install I got a message about Remote Management saying such and such company "can automatically configure your computer" followed by a prompt to enter corporate credentials. Couldn't get out of that loop until I disabled WiFi, powered off, then power it back on with no internet access. At that point I was able to setup a new account and sign in and reconnect to the internet. But I'm wondering if it will remotely lock?

        This StackExchange thread suggests the possibility of just disabling the MDM daemon:

        Thoughts?

          you can find tutorials in this regard, on the internet.

                                          Long story short: bought a 8” generic windows tablet (based on Atom x5-z8350, bios chip model is Gigadevice 25LQ64CVIG, uefi vendor is AMI Aptio) for some experiments, and it came with bios lock! I dont have any decent 1.8v programmers at hand nor do i have knowledge in modding uefi firmware, so decided to play safe: dumped the bios with AFU utility, which i attach here. I am hoping to get it unlocked. Also included hwinfo screenshots with general information, the board itself looks generic without any markings.

                                          Greeting folks...

                                          Well, in true old fart fashion, it seems I have a client who put a boot lock (padlock on the initial boot screen) on his ancient Macbook. I've done the forum search & Google Ranger attack & have found nothing with regard to working/clean bios to redo the job.

                                          The original offloaded bios is attached. Hopefully, one of you code-reading/writing Gods can figure this one out for me.

                                          Thank you so much in advance. I just know there are many of you folks that just love 15 year old tech. (sarcasm, It drives me nuts having to re-learn...
