    remove CMOS battery, that's why you weren't able to disable Absolute from bios setup. At 1st boot enter bios setup Security-Absolute (somemtime Computrace) and permanently disable it.

    Thanks Volinakis, I will follow your recommendations. I'm sure it will work like the last one.

    This was where I am puzzled as I looked at the original BIOS file through HxD and what I though was the enable and disable for AbtState, but it already has AA553C instead of AA5533F. I thought this was for another option that was mixed in. Under UEFItools it showed it as it should so this is why I was getting a headache.

    Alright, after examining your screenshot, I gave HxD a shot again. With the search I should have used the "search all" feature which gave me 4 results. One of them had the AA5533F. This was probably one I should have tended to when I attempted to do the fix myself. Like they say, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

    Thanks again!

          [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,...

          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:

          Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
          by Wahaz
          Hello,

          I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
          So I thought it was a Bios problem.
          I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

          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...

          Lenovo ThinkStation P720 BIOS Request
          by HammyCheesy
          Hello all,

          I'm trying desperately to revive a ThinkStation P720 that I purchased from a seller who claims it suffered a "failed firmware update."

          When given power, the machine turns on, spins up fans, beeps a single time, fans slow down, then a beep code is sounded repeatedly (3 high/short tones, 1 low/long tone).

          Type: 30BB
          Model Number: S03600
          S/N: MJ07N68C

          Things I have tried:

          1. Reseated all components, pulled everything except for 2 RAM modules (1 per CPU)
          2. Attempted to boot with just a single CPU...
