    HP BIOS unlock tool

    First check this site to see if your HP is supported for the great tool Mazzif has made.

    http://mazzifsoftware.blogspot.com/p...os-unlock.html

    If your model is newer and not in that list, you need to dump your bios, remove password from dump and reprogram bios with modified dump.

    For that you need an SPI programmer like CH341A or Raspberry Pi with Flashrom or any other similar programmer. A soic8 clip is also useful so there wouldn't be a need to unsolder bios IC.

    When you have your dump, just drag and drop your file on my HPUnlocker tool and it will create a new file. It will add "_unlocked" to the name of your locked file.

    Just program the new file on your bios IC.

    This unlocker should work on all Elite, EliteBook, ProBook and maybe some other series HP laptops.

    For those of you who need to unlock large amounts of laptops, I recommend adding a registry entry:
    Code:
    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\HPUnlocker\command
    Then modify that string adding
    Code:
    "C:\*location-of-exe*\HPUnlocker.exe" "%1"
    This way you just need to right click your locked file and select HPUnlocker.

    If there are any issues, please do let me know so I can improve this tool.

    All Elitebooks, Probooks and zbooks which are up to ninth generation which should be up to year 2018, like 840 G5, are supported. Newer models are not supported (yet atleast).

    No Pavilions or other trash is supported

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    NEW multitool and unlocker added .

    Unlocking
    HP - ProBook, EliteBook, ZBook (including 32MB models)
    Chromebooks from all various manufacturers
    Apple - everything older than T2
    More to come...

                          Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

                          Put it directly in C:/ or D:/ directory and don't use spaces or some strange characters in any names. I had the same problem when I had space in folder name (like "locked bios" should be changed to "locked_bios").

                          I can't really fix that problem because I usually don't write computer programs so I don't know much about such problems.

                          I will try to fix it one day but I have some other BIOS unlocking projects right now.

                                Msdalaa, what is not working? Send me your file, I will check.

                                Foulou0238, no, it works with newer versions too, like 840 G1, G2, G3 etc. Look at previous comments. If it didn't work with your file, send me your file, please.

                                        Just used it and works fine.

                                        Did you put HPUnlocker.exe in C:\ or D:\ directory? If your directory has spaces or maybe some strange letters in it, it will give the error you wrote as I wrote before.

                                          [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...
