    Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB

    Hi,

    I managed to upload the file to another person who helped me to retrieve the admin password.

    Thank you for all of your help.

      Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB BIOS Password

      I have 10 Lenovo MIIX 520-12IKB and the BIOS password I have isn't working. All the machines did and should have the same BIOS password. I have uploaded the bin file I saved from one of the machines and I hope if that password can be found it will work on the other ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed, please let me know. Thanks!

          AAAC, you're awesome! Thank you so much!! It worked on 7 of them but 3 it did not. I hope you can help on the last three. They should be the same as the other ones but weren't so who knows. I uploaded the bin files hoping you might be able to get the password for the last three. Thank you again for all your help!!

            You can unlock them yourself using a hex editor. The offset is in the picture,the highlighted area is a keyboard scancode. 30 = B ,and so on.

              Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB

              SMDFlea, Thank you for sending the information. This is great information and I will need it in the future for sure.
              I think I'm confused because this Lenovo doesn't let me use upper case or special characters. The password which was provided earlier only worked when I used lower case because upper case doesn't show anything is being typed. Does 30 = B as in I need to look at the upper case line? If that is the case then the special characters will not work.
              So, from the scan code and the hex editor I get BPWD410M10H (looking at the Keyboard scan code under key then the left side example 02 = 1 not !) but it doesn't work. Also, the 6D gets me confused because it's not in the scan code area so I looked over under normal and saw it says M.
              BTW, yes all the last three have the same 30 19 11 20 05 02 0B 6D 02 0B code under 00201000.

                SMDFlea, I finally got it! I needed to stop at the 6d so the password was BPWD410, just the first 7 and not the entire line. Anyway, thank you for all your help!

                  Re: lenovo miix 520-12IKB

                  That was very useful, is there anywhere on the site that shows where the offset is for other makes/models?

                  Cheers

                    The script in scan mode finds the first instance of the encoder, that's the reason.

                        I read trough this whole thread and i am confused as how to read the BIOS chip so i can extract the password from it, I juat bought a new motherboard for my MIIX 520 20M3 and despite that the bios password is still here.

                          That device is called a Programmer. Do a google search on how to use it and there are many brands.

                            to read the bios chip you will need an SPI programmer ... and in the contents of the bios chip the password is deleted.

                              Where do I find the BIOS chip on the motherboard? I've been searching for a while but i cannot seem to find it and i thought about getting one of those programmers but now I will since i need it for this.

                                we don't know all the boards either ... post clear pictures with the motherboard on both sides ...

                                            Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
                                            by RMDUiFT
                                            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

                                            [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                            by zenius
                                            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,...

                                            Problem:
                                            I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
                                            Initial Findings:

                                            • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
                                            • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
                                            Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
                                            • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
                                            • I concluded that the

                                            Help needed in unlocking BIOS Supervisor password - Lenovo X1 Yoga 5th Gen
                                            by baaligoga
                                            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...
