@wfasyvsafv
This is the same password previously decoded, so I guess the last character is the checksum.
password = HEAVEN1M -> HEAVEN1

Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB
Hi pal,
Just a little confused as to how to read this. So for example, the first 00 is 05 then 01 then 0B...you said number 30 would be for example the letter B but I'm not sure if I'm reading it right or not.
Can you explain a bit how to read/decode this? I've attached a screenshot.
Thank you,Attached FilesComment

Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB
This helped in decoding/translating, thank you:
https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-1.html
05 I'm assuming is the total number of characters
19 is P and 0B is 0(zero) 02 is 1(one) 31 is N and 14 is T.
Thanks again!Attached FilesComment

@lextar
Open your BIOS file with UEFITOOL NE version, then on the BIOS Region on the 1st padding file, at Offset 1000h is the password stored as scancodes: first byte N specifies “password length”, then the next N bytes is the actual password (need to convert from scancodes to ASCII), the last byte is the checksum which is calculated as 8-bit addition of all (N+2) bytes, result must be 00h.
If it’s only Setup/BIOS that is locked, meaning that you can boot Windows, use a utility to read the BIOS without having to use a programmer.Comment

Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB
Yes, I can run windows, only the BIOS is locked.
I will attach here the BIOS with the password and try your procedure to extract the passwordComment

Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB
@lextar
At offset 1000h you will find this:
0723121E2F12310232h
password length = 07h
password (scancodes) = 23121E2F123102h
checkum (8-bit addition) = 32h
password = HEAVEN1

Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.
I have a few questions:- If I would buy this laptop and have

Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.
Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,... -

Good day, everyone!
I'm encountering an issue with my Lenovo X1 Yoga 5th Gen laptop related to the BIOS supervisor password. I'm seeking assistance and guidance from the knowledgeable members of this community in resolving this problem.
I am no expert and cannot perform soldering or unsoldering of the chip from the board. Therefore, I attempted to use an EZP 2023 programmer with a clip to extract the BIOS bin file without removing the BIOS chip from the motherboard. The BIOS chip has the following letters imprinted on it: "Winbond 25Q80DVNIG 2026". I used the... -
Hi, can someone help me please with the removal of the bios password of this dump.
Someone desoldered the bios chip, tried several "methods" but with no luck, and he gave me the dump to try to search some help.
For now he deleted more things and bios password is gone but laptop doesn't show serial, model etc.
Also, I updated bios to latest version, when he will write the dump again without password, it should be better to put back the old version that was orignally or doesn't matter? Because from what I've read this laptop has 3 bios chips, don't know if has...
