Hi all, I have a Lenovo Y40-80 that I am trying to remove the Admin password for. There is a password screen that comes up immediately that I can input a user password for (Pic 3) and this will allow me access to Windows or the BIOS, but a majority of the options are grayed out in the BIOS (Pic 4).

I have attached a picture of my overall chassis and a close up of the chip that I have read (using CH341A and AsProgrammer). I output two files from the chip and compared them (fc /b) and they were the same. I patched the first file (the file felt like it processed too quickly) and then...

Long story short: bought a 8” generic windows tablet (based on Atom x5-z8350, bios chip model is Gigadevice 25LQ64CVIG, uefi vendor is AMI Aptio) for some experiments, and it came with bios lock! I dont have any decent 1.8v programmers at hand nor do i have knowledge in modding uefi firmware, so decided to play safe: dumped the bios with AFU utility, which i attach here. I am hoping to get it unlocked. Also included hwinfo screenshots with general information, the board itself looks generic without any markings.
