Re: Remove_SMM... UEFI.
Hello, I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 3rd Gen. (20BS) It has a fingerprint lock in bios, if I skip fingerprint check it has a bios password. Don't really know more about the bios setting, since I cannot enter bios even in read-only mode. When I enter 3 incorrect passwords it just restarts. I patched the bios file and used CH341a to write it directly on the chip. I get 5 + 5 beeps and no display. After that, I wrote original bios and it's working the same as before (locked bios). I have attached original bios and patched bios. I think it might be ME Region Lock...

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
I have carbon x1 gen 3 (20BS) and I cannot unlock the bios. I get 10 beeps and no display with patched bios. The problem seems to be the absence of a supervisor password. Seems like I cannot unlock bios without it. But I cannot set the supervisor password, the bios has a fingerprint protection and startup password. I cannot enter bios even in read-only mode(or don't know how to). Is there any workaround for this problem? Is there any other way to patch the bios?
P.S. I have attached the original unmodded...Last edited by SMDFlea; 03-25-2023, 11:57 AM.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Hello, I've removed bios using Autopatcher on Thinkpad L580. I used CH341a and connected pins directly to the motherboard bios chip. It worked like a charm. Now I'm trying to unlock Thinkpad X1 Carbon 3rd Gen 2015. I bought it recently and found out it was bios locked. I tried using CH341a, and it seems to find something, but both lights on the CH341a controller light up and AsProgrammer cannot find the bios chip model. If I choose the bios chip model manually and read from the chip it gives a bunch of zeros. If anybody...

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
hello, I am having a problem with X1 Carbon Gen 1. The bios is locked with password and it boots to locked bios, but when I try to patch the bios file it gives following message.
Using UEFIReplace to inject 2 DXE drivers...
