Re: Lenovo ThinkCentre M920s - 10SJ-000VUS - I3X0MS - BIOS locked

Thanks for these files. I had the UGHMM PDF already but have not seen the other ones. I followed the BIOS recovery procedure in the IPIG document (burnt a CD, enable the CMOS recovery jumper, update the BIOS) and this worked perfectly.

No idea why the other procedure did not work for me but at least this is a manageable solution. I have a couple more of these boxes I will try this on but I have no doubts this will work for them too.

Thanks for the help.

Correct. I have tried that and several variations of it. Despite the fact the manual implies this should reset the password, it has not.

I have not yet tried without the RAM and other devices yet. That's a new idea to me. I will give it a try tomorrow and report back....

Hi all,

Any suggestions? Grateful for any ideas!

So far all my searches off-site for this particular model have lead me to questionable sites behind paywalls.

Thanks!

Greetings,

I have a ThinkCentre M920s (type 10SJ-000VUS) with a supervisor password. The motherboard model is I3X0MS.

I tried already the suggestion to clear CMOS, remove CMOS battery, etc. on this model to clear the password. Even the manual suggests that this should remove the password but simply had no luck with this method.

Attached is a dump of the BIOS. The chip type is a W25Q128JV.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Edit: Realized this is posted in the mobile devices section. Apologies! Could someone move this to the desktop BIOS...
