Good day and a Happy New Year to all with good health!

A lot of interesting people and with quite the experience under their belt seem to be here!

A few months back I enabled the supervisor password for the BIOS of my ThinkPad laptop... and I forgot it. Didn't make a not somewhere, thinking I would be able to remember the password later on.
Now I hope to somehow find the BIOS Chip, short it and disable the password.
If I don't no biggy, I'm installing a linux distro... and let the laptop live for a few more years! Damned be Windows 11
