Re: ThinkPad x395 attempt at password removal
try this and follow the steps:
[ HOW TO USE THE PATCH ]
STEP 1: Flash and replace current BIOS with the generated patch file
STEP 2: Boot the machine
STEP 3: Press ENTER/F1/etc. to enter BIOS settings
STEP 4: Enter any character when asked for Supervisor Password
STEP 5: Press enter when it shows Hardware ID
STEP 6: Press space bar 2x when asked
STEP 7: Turn off machine
STEP 8: Restore original BIOS
STEP 9: Reset BIOS settings to factory default
[ NOTES ]
When booting the patched BIOS you might have to:
- Hold the anti-tamper switch down the whole time (use tape)
- Remove the hard disk or replace it with a locked oneLeave a comment:

Re: ThinkPad x395 attempt at password removal
I also have a X395 with password, I did try to unlock it with RT809H but no luck. I set up lines as in schematics, I used a 24pins FFC cable but I get "failed to enter the ISP status". UL5 is linked with ethernet controller, I erased it and nothing happened, no bios recovery, all DMI data shows in bios, so...
Maybe someone with more experience take a look and tell me what I did wrong or if RT809H is able to read IT8186VG. 24pins FFC cable I used is B-type - reverse contact.Thank you.Attached FilesLeave a comment:

ThinkPad x395 attempt at password removal
Did some experimenting to try supervisor password removal ... initially laptop has supervisor password and no computrace. I erase IT8186VG controller, it self-reprograms upon booting with serial number errors and supervisor password is gone but to my surprise computrace automatically activates ... I program a clean bios file downloaded and cut from website and upon booting, self-healing activates and upon checking setup, password still gone but computrace remains activated ... I write back backups of both Bios and EC and things are back to normal, that is supervisor password is back and computrace is off... I also noticed that removing UL5 (MX25L80) from the motherboard stops Bios self-healing so that's probably where backup is stored. So long story short, I'm back to square one ... anybody had success unlocking? I think the whole secret lies in the EC firmware ... still can't wrap my head around what's causing the computrace to activate ...

Hey guys,
have a laptop here that has a supervisor Password (dump in Attachements).
Before i write the Serial NR.etc i wanted to say that strangely after flashing with 3 different Bios dumps and one from lenovos site
the laptop works but everytime it wants me to type a supervisor password i never set.
I thought the supervisor password is stuck in the ec bios but no it isn't either because after replacing the ec chip from one of another board it still has the supervisor password.
Anyway i wanted to ask what of the two chips is the ec bios because on the left... -
Hi friends., I am working on MacBook Pro A2159 touchbar 2019. The old logic board was liquid spilled so I ordered another logic board from AE. Received it & all worked fine till I got to the Chinese login screen where the login screen password tobe entered. I tried to reset the password but it again gave me options which I do not know about the Apple ID. I formatted the onboard SSD. & wanted to change the startup boot sequence but in order to change it, again the password is needed for that too. Is there a way to get rid of this password?? The seller has not replied back past 2 days, how...05-13-2025, 04:16 PM -
Hi all, I'm new here, a few words about myself: CS student, interested in hardware stuff too - tinkering my whole life but with practically no experience when it comes to firmware "hacking".
So I have this X380 Yoga with a supervisor password in place and before doing anything stupid I figured I'd rather ask.
I plan on using the tool from this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...password-remov... -
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can assist me.
I have an Asus Vivobook 16x Pro OLED laptop which has a BIOS password, and I can't seem to find it.
It still boots into Windows (boots from whatever SSD is installed but not from USB).
The model number is M7600R and serial number is N8N0CX03H71131C.
I tried AMITSESetup Decryptor but the password I got doesn't make sense (it's got a line break and special characters).
I also tried to use *************** MOD EDIT ,redacted************** and it also gave me the funny password of

Here is all the info you should need to remove bios password from your same model or one with an MEC-Chip and also write back the config data
T14s - MEC-1663 - Jtag - Pinout - Bios Password Removal
See Diagram for Wiring.
Use MEC-1633#ISP on your RT809h
This is same Jtag pinout and method for T490S/X390
(But your R/W 10K Resistor Location May In a Different Location)
MEC-Chips Store Bios Password In a Secure Un-Editable Area
Following steps clear that secure area to re-initialize itself to default (Blank)
