    Lenovo Miix 520 BIOS password

    Hi all

    I need help with removing a BIOS password on a Lenovo Miix 520. I purchased it from a local computer recycling center. They were able to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS but were unable to remove the BIOS password.

    I would like to install Android for Windows on the device but to do so I need to enable virtualization in the BIOS.

    I am running BIOS 6NCN39WW, I am unable to dump a copy of the version installed as I do not possess the required tools.

    Is anyone able to advise?

    Much appreciated

      Having a programmer device to read the bios chip content is required, there is no better way.

          Thanks for the reply. Thought as much tbh but figured i would ask anyways. I'll see if a local repair shop is able to help me.

          Thanks again

                  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,...

                  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...

                  by darknwo
                  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...
