I downloaded both Universal BIOS backup toolkit and AMI BIOS flasher (AFUWINGUI.EXE) to obtain BIOS dumps. (Uni. Bios backup results in 8 mb file and the AMI BIOS flasher results 2mb file)
I used Amidecyrptor and AMIDSEDecyript with no luck, the python one gives gibberish decode as password and the AMIdecyrptor gives nothing at all.
When I open dump(s) with UEFI tool to manually decode, I cannot find "AMITSESetup". I cant see any NVAR entry.

I am lost
I need help Thanks
Use HxD hex editor,search for the text word AMITSE
Thank you for the tip, need further help with ciphered password
I must disappoint you - it won't be the easy way if that's what you think.
From here on, you take the classic way - programmer, dump, edit the dump, reprogram the chip with the edited dump, and so on.

It can`t be decoded,so the selected area wil need filling with zero`s ,there are 2 seperate areas that need filling.
You might have a problem flashing the file back, if you can`t flash back with software then you will have to buy an SPI bios programmer.

The decryption algorithm is absolutely different for the Panasonic CF-U1.
The same approach cannot be used in your case.
I told you above what you should do, but of course you can continue to waste your time.

The reason I am trying because I have seen people offering this service, they just ask for dumps (without taking the laptop apart) with software and they provide a password. They ask for complete model number and dump. That means there is a way.

There might be some who know what the newer algorithm is,personally i don`t. If you want to pay go and find a seller,if they can unlock the new algorithm.If you want it done cheaper then buy a programmer,post the full backup and someone here will help for free

Thank you, I am opening the laptop now. Will try to reach the BIOS chip
I finally reached the BIOS chip and took 3 dumps. In the past I cleared multiple passwords but for different laptops mostly hp and dells. Below is the BIN file for the BIOS, what are the steps to take to clear the passwords since I have multiple laptops?
Is it the same method as the poster explains (please see the attached picture)
Will I loose any DMI data?
I ask all these because, I don't want to put this laptop back and see something wrong and disassemble again...... I am sure you know what I mean
The full dump must be 16MB, yours is 8MB?
What is the chip markings?

Thank you for this, since I have multiple of this, could you explain how to remove the password? Thanks again.
I compared both dumps and noticed crypted password was removed, thank you for the help. It was very valuable. But considering the work I rather make a hole right under the keyboard to reach the BIOS chip
