Re: HP Elite x2 1012 G2 fix BIOS password

Thank you so much for the file, Peste!

I'm trying to flash it but at the moment I don't get any further than "write operations timeout failed code 255".. I'm sure I selected the right BIOS Chip (Winbond W25Q128FV) and the clip is still attached in the same way as it was when I read and erased the chip. I can also check if blank and that process also gave me a positive result.

I read somewhere that some BIOS chips cannot be flashed while they're stll seated in the motherboard, I hope that's not the case...

HP Elite x2 1012 G2 fix BIOS password

Hi everyone

I bought an HP Elite X2 1012 G2 recently, but turns out the BIOS is locked and the guy I bought it from doesn't remember the password

Called HP and they don't provide the BIN files they used to anymore.

Bought an CH341A programmer with test clip, read about how to use it and read the BIOS to a .bin file.

I hope I put the clip in the right position, since the first lines in CH341A programmer are all blank (FF). Information only starts at 00907960 with lots of empty...

Hi everyone!

I'm Jan from Belgium. I'm a history teacher but am also interested in a LOT of side projects including computer-related affairs.

I recently bought an HP Elite X2 1012 G1 to hackintosh it, but when I tried to enter the bios, I noticed the previous owner managed to put a password on the BIOS and now he does not even remember what that password was. I called HP and those guys don't even want to help me unlock the bios due to "privacy". I took it all apart since I knew this tablet...
