              Re: THINKPAD L390 password

              Is there a new patch method for these?

              I have a Yoga L390 20NU-S0XJ00, dump attached. Regular autopatch won't boot.

              Thanks.

                  Re: THINKPAD L390 password

                  dycc - it worked, thank you.

                  I have 3 more of these and an x390, would you mind sharing the patch method please or could I post the bios dumps here? I had a look at the differences in a hex editor but I could't replicate your work.

                  Would this work on the L490 32MB model (20Q6)?

                      Re: THINKPAD L390 password

                      So this is a newer model lenovo with the self-healing bios that you guys got working? I've got a t14s with a locked pw (admin); was curious if there was a method for these machines yet..If these manual methods work I'll go ahead and post the bios, just was looking for confirmation that the self-healing bios has been sucessfully bypassed. Thanks guys!

                        These 2 models use a 32MB bios, but seems like Self-Healing bios feature wasn't still fully operational, as they could be patched as with 4th to 8th generation ThinkPad models (ex. T440-T480).

                        ThinkPad L390 (20NR, 20NS) [32MB]
                        ThinkPad L390 Yoga (20NT, 20NU) [32MB]

                              X390 32MB 20Q1 - do you know if this one can be patched using your method?

                                      Can you share your patch method so that other members can patch their own, or at least give a hint.
                                      Is it different to the normal patching, do you have to edit the GUID or something

                                        Sorry, my mistake, that's an L380 and worked with autopatcher.

                                        Thanks again for the other.

                                          Re: THINKPAD L390 password

                                          A couple of these L390 are failing to retain any changed BIOS settings 90% of the time. It also hangs for a moment when i switch through the BIOS menu tabs.

                                          I have reset the BIOS to defaults, pulled the CMOS battery and updated to latest Lenovo BIOS, but if I e.g. change boot mode or try to set a new supervisor password, most of the time it reverts back to previous settings.

                                          Has anyone seen this issue before, any suggestions please?

                                            Thinkpad P14s Gen 4, BIOS Supervisor Password
                                            by badzymandiaz
                                            I have a laptop that was purchased second-hand, and I am able to boot Windows on and extract the BIOS dump (ONLY the BIOS region, I was unable to dump anything else due to an FCERR I received trying to dump the other regions) and use normally. However, because the BIOS is locked with a supervisor password, I am unable to use anything else except for Windows, and it has also disabled some hardware features of the laptop itself, such as the fingerprinting module, etc. that I really do wish to use.

                                            I have been digging around for nearly 2 weeks trying to find any mention of the same model...
