Re: Bios Request Getac B300G6 for admin pass wipe

UPDATE
This Getac B300G6 USAF bios is a little cool.

I just erased and rewrote the bios back...

As hobbies, I have been messing with computer hardware, microcontrollers, and general electronics for a very long time.

Writing code can be easy. Fixing a radio can be easy. Removing a bios password was easy 20 years ago. I guess it is not now.

That is why I am here but not why I will stay .

This "feels" like the open source...
