Hello All,
I recently acquired a new Lenovo Thinkpad L15 Gen 1 with a i3 10110U.
- MB: GL4A0/GL5A0 NM-C631
But the issue is, after opening and dismantling it to clean it / changing the thermal paste, I realized that there is a Supervisor Password.
As this serie is quite new, I don't know is there is a solution to remove it
?
I can give you every information I have in my possession if needed specially the Bios Dump.
Thanking you 1 million times in advance
Regards
