      Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

      Hi! Need help, I have an Elitebook 1040 G3. Unsoldered the BIOS-chip (W25Q64FV), attached it to CH341, did 3 dumps that were zero differences, continued to RCunlocker, did not work ("Missing unlockable content", the HPunlocker did produce a "_unlocked" file, erased the W25Q64FV and flashed "_unlocked".

      However, now when i read the chip again and compare it to the unlocked version, I get 1500 differences? And I also get "Verification error on address: 0000000F" in AsProgrammer 2.0.2. Don't know what to do!!!

      Can someone have a look at my files and see if something is off? thanks!

        That error message was a huge hint to you. You are trying to modify the wrong chip...

          Hello RethoricalCheese! Thanks for your great tool! It might help me accessing my HP Revolve810 bios again! As a big idiot I did not write down my pwd so I can't access Bios setup anymore ;-( If I understand well, I need a file to use your HPunlocker.exe
          The trouble is I don't know where to get that file ;-( Do I need to unsolder the BIOS chip first???
          Thanks for your help and understanding!

            From your bios chip. You need a programmer for that.

              Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

              Can anybody help me out here? I m trying to unlock an HP 820 G3, tried for several days no luck so far, I have tried different programmers, whenever I flash the original BIOS file the system boots up but the password is still there, when I flash the unlocked bin file, it either wont respond or will flash yellow and orange indicators then go full fan spin, I also tried to recovery bios by USB with official HP rescue tool, no luck either. I will attach both original bin and modified bin below, could anyone knowledgeable take a look please and guide me in the correct direction, I have an CH341a black minprogrammer, I mainly use NeoProgrammer, seems to be most stable among the bunch I tried.

              Someone guide me in the right direction.

                    Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

                    thanks, I finally solved it. I used RCUnlocker, erased the EEPROM wrote the file then verifiedit, at first I thought nothinf had changed. I did a few power cycles, inserted a USB with rescue BIOS first it didnt work then I put it in a different port while powercycling, now iy works perfectly fine, thanks for the help.

                            Hello guys!

                            I have a ZBook 17 G3 laptop with Power-On password set - password that I don't know for I've never used it (nor set it explicitly). I've been using my unit for years now, unlocking it with my fingerprint, until new fingerprint driver reinitialized something and removed my fingerprint (and left me with a power-on password I never used nor intended to - HP Client Security tool I used to register my fingerprint for power-on auth also associated windows password with it).
                            I know main BIOS (admin) password, but it's of no use for I can't get into BIOS...

                            Anyway, my unit has Winbond 25Q128FVSQ chip, mentioned on a few pages in this thread:
                            1. This one shows use case I could use (before unfortunate fingerprint removal, there was Bios Administrator user option on power-on authentication screen)
                            2. This one is for very similar laptop, though I don't know what was the problem with it...


                            Before I try it out, I'd rather ask first, could this unlocker tool help me with the problem I have? These two posts made me think so, but I'd better play it safe... I don't expect any guarantees (would be silly to do so), rather an advice or a guide. Thank you!
                            Just got CH341 thingy with the clip (8 pin), disconnected main and CMOS batteries, made sure I properly connected everything and tried to read the chip, but without success. Managed to make it worse then it was - now I get 5 led blinks on boot... Any clues - messed up bios chip or the motherboard? Thanks

                                        Big thanks to everyone here for their great posts.
                                        I have a HP640g1 which was bios locked with a forgotten password from a couple of years ago. Followed the instruction from post 1. All good now.
                                        Did run into a few problems but that was user error (Myself).
                                        Laptop now with unlocked bios.
                                        I have now experimented with both unsoldering the bios chip and using the SOIC clip method.
                                        My problems encounted was poor resoldering of the chip back which looked good under a magnifying glass but was bad as all i got was a black screen, power button permantly lit and flashing yellow charging light. After removal and resoldering this problem was resolved and i could see pin 8 bent previously not making a good contact.
                                        The clip method also works but i had to ensure good contact was maintained during write as advised in other posts by checking and verifying the bios.

                                        Thanks

                                          Looking for help removing the BIOS password on a HP Elitebook 830 g7. If someone can please look at my BIOS file and let me know. Thanks.

                                            [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,...

                                            Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                                            by Forest79
                                            Hello,

                                            I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                            The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                            However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                            BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
                                            by Sebastian Codrean
                                            Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
                                            The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
                                            So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

                                            Hello everybody!

                                            To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                                            The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
