I would have, had I been aware of them earlier. I wasn't posting a request for a BIOS in my first post - I was requesting [B]information[/B] and trying to understand what the risks and options were. As I have said multiple times, I was seeking to be able to resolve the issue myself if possible, but since my post got merged into this thread it seems like the only course available to me is to upload the BIOS files and hope that the cleaned files actually work.

Even the rules themselves aren't helpful - it does no good to mandate that people "Attach files directly to your post instead...

I flashed PC0KA977 with the provided BIOS (with the only difference being a zeroing out of 2 rows?), but it is still coming up with a request for the Administrator password to access the full BIOS.

I had a go at flashing the already unlocked BIOS onto PC0KA977, and that worked without a problem. I was able to enter the BIOS without needing a password and has full access, so I'm assuming that the section that was changed wasn't the right password area?

I'm separately having hardware issues with two of the devices now where they aren't powering on at all, but I don't think...

Thank you!





He did, while ignoring the direct question that I posed and not giving a clear reason - and you did the same. I appreciate that you guys take the time to help people, but I don't feel like my questions are unreasonable. It's also unclear if my original post was actually read - the BIOSes aren't "corrupted", it's simply that 5 of the 6 have a password applied. Being wary of just dumping out the system information on a public website, especially when it seems likely that the windows keys from the BIOSes could be read, isn't unreasonable....

OK, here's all 6 BIOSes [ATTACH]n3608680[/ATTACH]...

I considered it, but I had a more general question, rather than just asking for a clean BIOS to be provided, hence creating a new post. I may have created it in the wrong subforum?



I don't have any soldering equipment or experience - I'm more comfortable taking the risk using the clip than I am removing 6 motherboards from microPC cases to desolder the chips., or trying to solder on individual wires.

I just want to understand if I can either use the BIOS from the unlocked machine, or use a tool like [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/78215-lenovo-bios-auto-patcher-for-supervisor-password-removal"]this...

I have 6 Lenovo M700 machines that were bought at auction and appear to have been used in a photo printing kiosk environment (judging by how many other people's photos I deleted and the general software on the systems.

I had to use the storage from these for a server migration, but I am now trying to get them ready to sell again, and in doing so I have discovered that 5 of the 6 have passwords on the BIOS.

I have tried every trick that I could, and have eventually resorted to getting a CH341A programmer. I have managed to get the BIOS off each device, but before I just...

Hi, I'm here from Aus trying to revive 5 Lenovo M700 Micro PCs that I bought at auction only to find that their BIOSes are password locked
