Lenovo Miix 520 BIOS password

[lembi2001]

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

He could make a backup with Flash Programming tool
