It's a linux system so there is a filesystem there, and maybe the password is located in the filesystem and not in a separate NVRAM or SPI Flash, and maybe the password is even saved in cleartext.
That's a lot of maybes, though.
I filtered out all the textstrings out of the dump-file that are at least 8 readable characters long, and filtered that to strings that only contain the following characters: A-Z a-z 0-9 ! . -
Then I sorted that and removed any duplicates.
The result is 292 lines, and that's reasonable to look through:
One line that sticks out as a typically human-sourced term is this: topsofia
It appears to be the name of some instagram account: https://www.google.com/search?q=topsofia
Perhaps it's a username on the device, but if not, maybe it's a password?
However, if by "bios" you mean a bootstrap-environment on the device, then you wouldn't find a password to that on the operating system's filesystem, because the operating system is not loaded yet when the bootstrap executes.
Hello everyone, I come here to tell you my problem regarding the power-on password. It is not a bios reset demand, and i can't have any access to windows. This is the bios and power-on password that is blocking all other things.
My Omen 15-dh0052nf purchased second-hand was configured with the bios password upon purchase (very simple password :P ).
Having decided to sell it in order to get something more powerful, I reset all BIOS settings and set a blank administrator password. But the power-on password cannot be changed to a blank one so I let the actual password set....
The batch from which the password was removed works correctly but... after some time, the BIOS password is set again, I reprogrammed the batch with the removed password, it's ok, there is no password, I set my password, ok, I can enter the BIOS with my password but...
i need some help :-/

1. I bought this laptop from flea market, and the seller said that he had never set a password, however here is a password required when pressing F2 to enter BIOS.
2. And after entering incorrrect password 3 times, there is no any useful information like "recovery code"
3. I used universal bios backup tool, and dumped 8MB bin file, but hex code after "SystemSupervisorPw" is...
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.
