Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment, stay safe.
Your video made me confident about doing all this. Thank you so much for this well explained video which can be very useful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for shearing. Stay safe.
@@fluidfix Made a reddit post where I credited you for your work while sharing my experience with the patcher and which hardware I used. Anyways thank you so much for your help. I can now run virtual machines on my t470.
Cool stuff i remember playing with VM in 2009 had a server run on it and i was able to check safely downloaded files from internet for viruses and test programs and stuff. I bet it is much more now then it was then. Happy to hear about the post but the credit should go to those creating the patch and thinking of it originally. Those are unspoken heroes.
Stay safe and have fun.
Im really thankful it worked
Thank you. I'm happy i could be useful to someone for once. Stay safe, be happy and that happiness you felt when it worked please use that to make at least one more person happy when you can pay it forward my friend and God will look after you. Thank you.
Thank you for this 💯
My pleasure!! Thank you for your comment I really appreciate it. Stay safe.

Great work 👌👏😊👍😀🙂😃
Thank you for shearing. Stay safe.
nice tuto thx a lot works for me
Great! Thank you for confirming. Say safe and happy.
depuis le Cameroun❣❣❣❣, je te dis merci. ça a marché pour moi.
Thank you so much for your nice hearts. I'm so happy that your laptop is back working now. Stay safe and happy my friend.
Good work 👏👏👏
I'm just a fool good work did all those contributing to scripts and cracking it in the first place that is real skill what I do is being a sheep following... Stay safe.
Work like a charm.
I have a CH341A, i desolder the chip.
The dump won't work with CH341A software so i need to use NeoProgrammer.
I've dump two times the BIOS.
Don't forget to erase the chip before every flash.
Flash with patch and solder the chip.
ESC => any key, enter
Space
Space
Shutdown and desolder the chip.
Erase and flash with backup.
Solder the chip and boot and Voila :)
No more password.
BOOM! Just like that you get Well Done my friend and stay safe.
Well, i managed to do it on the thinkpad t570, using the CH341A with the claw tool, no solder desolder needed. laptop bought for 80 bucks on ebay, unfortunately it also has a problem in the sdd connector, maybe i'll buy a m.2 2230 and use the LTE board slot.
Kindly give me auto patcher download link please
you can easily find it online @@TheOmerjaan
Que buen contenido , felicidades por tu trabajo a mí me funcionó y me gustaría hacer un vídeo pero en español para apoyar tu canal. Saludos desde Argentina
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Me alegra mucho saber que te funcionó y no tengo ningún problema con que hagas un vídeo en español para apoyar mi canal. ¡Saludos desde [tu país]! Cuídate mucho y mantente feliz.
@@fluidfix @fluidfix te dejo mi humilde aporte, a traves de estas instrucciones en español.
1° detecte el chip bios de su Lenovo. Luego proceda a desoldar y prepararlo para leerlo con el programador de EEPROM.
2° Abrimos el Software del programador y procedemos a Leer el chip (read) y luego guardar (save) [se sugiere guardar con el nombre del chip ; ej winbond 25q64jvsig]
3° Instalar phyton y sus librerias.
4° Arrastrar el Archivo de bios encima del Script "Autopach". Esto nos generar un Archivo con el nombre que del binario seguido de la palabra "PATCHED"
Ej: primero guardamos el binario con el nombre de : (v1)Len_tp_e470_win_25q64jv y luego de arrastrar encima del script nos genera un archivo con el nombre de: "(v1)Len_tp_e470_win_25q64jv_PATCHED"
5°Volvemos a programar el bios con el archivo generado, terminado en PATCHED ej: "(v1)Len_tp_e470_win_25q64jv_PATCHED" y soldamos a la placa nuevamente.
>Encendemos el equipo y presionamos "F2" para intentar ingresar al bios (o la tecla correspondiente para ingresar al bios, si no sabes cual es la tecla de setup/configuracion, presionar F1){Sugerencia trabajar con teclado del equipo}
>Escribimos una contraseña Generica EJ: 1234.
>Nos Aparecera un mensaje :"All service security DXE driver. Press any key"
>presionamos Enter
>volvemos a escribir la contraseña generica
>Presionamos Tecla "Espacio"
>Nuevamente presionamos tecla espacio.
Si nos sale un cartel que dice "TPM certificate changed . Turn it off" quiere decir que salio todo bien.
>Apagamos el equipo
6° Desoldamos el chip nuevamente y lo vamos a programar con el mismo binario el cual le hicimos backup en nuestro caso buscamos el binario (v1)Len_tp_e470_win_25q64jv.
Terminada la reprogramacion volver a soldar en la placa.
si todo sale bien, NO nos deberia volver aparecer el candado o icono de supervisor. Si presionamos F2 deberiamos poder modificar todos los parametros del BIOS ; EJ: cambiar la orden de arranque , modificar secure boot. Una vez dentro de la bios volver a valores predeterminados.
¡IMPORANTE! >realizar backup de archivo de bios
>Trabajar con cuidado en la zona donde se encuentra el Chip BIOS, no vaya a desoldar otro componente.
Si al realizar el trabajo no les aparece el disco aqui dejo una Solucion que me funciono a mi :
Saquen el disco de la notebook. Realicen backup y formateen el disco.
una vez hayan formateado el mismo conectarlo en la compu presionen f12 e instalen el sistema operativo.
si van a instalar windows les recomiendo descargar los controladores de almacenamiento gofile.io/d/HUIHPw extraerlos con 7zip y copiarlos a otro dispositivo de almacenamiento.
una vez inicien la instalacion de sistema operativo si no le aparece aun el disco buscar donde dice actualizar controlador e ingresan al medio donde guardaron el driver controlador de almacenamiento. al reprogramar la bios se pueden borrar firmas que reconocen el disco.
Muchas gracias Nuevamente por tus conocimientos. Saludos desde Argentina
Lenovo T560 için başarılı oldu. Teşekkürler
Thank you for shearing that it worked on lenovo t560. Stay safe and happy.
Good video sir
Thanks, thank you for your comment.
Hi!
Great video, would you know if this method work with a Lenovo X1 CArbon 7th Gen? Thanks
Hi. Thank you for commenting my friend.
I regret to tell you that this wont work on it. You would have to speak through JTAG connector and have better programmer that can actually do that - I don't have one. If you do then look up jtag and lenovo on badcaps and follow what they say.
Hope that helps you out as after 8th gen the password is not stored in bios chip itself so that is where issue is.
Hey Martin! Awesome video! Loved it! I bought a Thinkpad t490s from someone from Offerup. I can use the computer but the bios is locked!! I have the ch341a programmer. do you know if this process will work for the t490s?? Thank you!
Hey. I’ll have a look tomorrow and let you know as if it supports this chip then it will. Just make sure to actually unsolder it. I’ll reply here tomorrow when I’ll check compatibility. Stay safe.
Hi again my friend. This is 490s I did not realise as it was late and I was in my bed replying lol. 490s wont allow you to do it - to modify this sector you need to have better equipment than ch341a and use JTAG to talk to Lenovo chip. This method will not work the way it is shown here. Hope that helps you. Stay safe.
My T470 has Winbond W25Q128 instead of MXIC MX25L12873. They seem to be drop-in replacements for each other. Are they? (I hope so.) When I do the job, I would use Kapton tape around the chip to protect other components from (possible) heat damage -- to be on the safe side. Thank you for a great hack.
Yes that might be it. I agree I would rather stay safe than not I guess it all depends from how your mindset is at the time you do it - mine was like I will be ok. Thank you for writing and helping. Stay safe and happy.
Good video master,
Is necessary to solder 2 times the memory? And this method works for lenovo thinkpad e14 2 gen
Hi. Thank you but I'm no master no more than you.
all steps are needed and one can't skip any steps.
This will not work on 11th gen intel laptop sorry.
Stay safe.
I have a Question in regards to a X1 carbon gen 2 (20A7) woud this work ? if not is there a way to unlock a supervisor password? and info would be helpful . thanks a love this video step by step
Hi. Thank you. As it is gen4 processor it should work but I'm not sure because i never tried on it so this is your call - back up original bios so you can revert to original state. stay safe and happy.
could the xgecu be used for 2018-2020 Macbook Pro T2 chips? we are hoping to get one device that will work for flashing bios chips on basically any computer we get.
Here you will find web page that show support for chips on this model there are better models they sell with more support
www.xgecu.com/MiniPro/T48_List.txt
if you using windows press ctr +f to open search box
hope this helps you
Stay safe
Why do you desolder the eeprom chip instead of using these alligator clamps to reprogram it in place?
Had good success with a W460 that died during a BIOS update, flashing an intact regular BIOS on it that way.
Hi. I believe i explain it in the video. Clips are prawn to error causing and are not advised when other components are near. I personally always de solder and I'm 100% sure there is stable connection. Stay safe.
Hi! This method is work with a Lenovo X1 Carbon i7-10510H 10th Gen? Thanks
Hi it's in the title. Happy New year
Did you erase the chip 2nd time before programming original . Bin file back, or just overwrote it... Thanks in advance
Hi. Best practice is to erase - verify then program - verify, even if your programmer software do that i found that to be the best - old but best way ensuring all is good. Stay safe.
winbond is the ship to modify
(this nvram is where the bios system and it data located ?)
I think you can find more about it here

Hey 👋🏻 i‘m from Germany.
First, many thanks for your work 💪🏻
I have a X13 Gen1 with a svp. Does it work on this system? Or is there any other solution?
Hi. Thank you for commenting my friend.
I regret to tell you that this wont work on it. You would have to speak through JTAG connector and have better programmer that can actually do that - I don't have one. If you do then look up jtag and lenovo on badcaps and follow what they say.
Hop that helps you out as after 8th gen the password is not stored in bios chip itself so that is where issue is.
@@fluidfixThanks for response.
I‘ll keep trying. Wish you all the best.
Merry Christmas
That is the spirit my friend keep trying to revive electronics and save them from waist. Stay safe. Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Hi! I'm from Brazil too !!
This process work in Lenovo Thinkpad E490 ?
Thanks and congratulation.
E490 is 8 gen so it might work actually. Worth giving a try so please do try and let me know if it did. Remember to follow the steps and save original dump file that you read so if it will not work then you can revert to original bios and have it exactly as it was. Brazil must be a great place for life with nature and people it is a shame it is so dangerous for you there. Stay safe and happy. Merry Christmas.
@@fluidfix Thank you for the congratulations.
Just one more question.
If I physically replace the BIOS chip with a new one, can it work???
Thank you again.
Your issue is password and that is it.
This bios have important data saved on it and if you replace chip with new one new one will be empty unprogrammed. You would have to have it programmed before replacement and even then that important data I was talking about would disappear and your bios would not know what motherboard, CPU, graphics bridge etc. it is working with and you would have to use specialised software to add all of them in to the bios.
I would not advise that as in some cases it might make your computer useless and you would just spend money for nothing and had to revert to old chip with old bios on it.
Hope that helps you.
Stay safe.
One question... Is a must remove the chip? Can i read it with a clamp?
you can read it with a clamp but I did run into a problems many times when doing so as sometimes it might not read correctly and then you screwed, I would always advise to unsolder it 100% of the time.

This would drive me crazy. Stay safe and happy.
is it possible to do by replacing the chip ?? £80 for the programmer which ill probably never use again,,, given the value of the laptop......
If only it was that easy we all would just reprogram the chip with new bios and that would do it - but in this case that is not possible and it will not help. Has to be done this way. May be some of your friends have a programmer like that so they can help you out. Stay safe and happy.
Will this work for my (Gen 2 X1 Yoga ThinkPad, 7th gen i7)
Never had chance to check so if you decide to let me know. Stay safe.
I have a supervisor lock in the thinkpad e14 gen2 11-generation bios, is there a solution?
I'm sorry I never dealt with this model so... Stay safe and happy - google it
Hi, will it work for this Laptop: Lenovo thinkpad t15 gen 1 Type 20S7
Hey. I never tried it in this model. sorry.
Hi, is there an solution for removing bios password on Lenovo X13 yoga gen 2 ?
Thanks in advance.
I never had one to try and deep dive in it but try searching mentioned forum in my video and you might get all the info there. Stay safe.
good job Is there no other way I have? Thinkpad t14 gen1 I bought it and came with a password I am a student from Morocco
Hey. I believe you have even tougher issue as you will need to do it by JTAG connector and you will need a way better programmer than i have.
Thank you for reaching out.
Stay safe and happy.
Hy, will this work for thinkpad x1 carbon 5th gen ?
Hey. No clue as i did not try this on that model.
does this work for t480 20l6 model with i7 8th gen?
Hey. It is in the title. Stay safe and happy.
Is there a way to read the password from the chip? I have many laptops with the same password.
Hey - i dot really think you expect anyone to really tell you the way to do that! Come on my friend that is just outside of my comfort zone. Not that i know anything about that as I'm noting more than a fool. Stay safe.
How are you I hope you are fine what you have downloaded can you provide me? Because what I am downloading from the website link you gave is not working If they can send me a Google Drive or something, please give me the Kindle because I have a lot of laptops stuck because of this. thanks
Hi. I'm not the creator and i do not distribute this software you need to go to badcaps and talk to them about it.
hello,nice work!you write a dafault password or only I I ?
None. I don't like password on bios as such scenario is eminent. That is why Bios password is being removed and left blank - if you have a need to have it on you can then go back and set it up to whatever you want it to be. Stay safe my friend and thank you for reaching out.

The screen goes black when trying to enter the bios on Thinkpad T470, this happened after adding a password to the bios. Windows works perfectly.
you can try using this method to recover it and be sure to do all steps 100% as shown.
Stay safe.
I was able to solve it by starting the bios from Windows.
Great.
Less work for you.
hmm why you program original bios dump back and no password inside?
That is the idea to get rid off it.
Stay safe.
Where I can find the chip on Lenovo x395 AMD , thank you
Hey. It should be closer to the bridge, cpu, from what I think. I'm sure that simple google search will turn up something. Stay safe.
@@fluidfix I have tried but no luck on this model
believe it is in the centre of the board should be something like 25q128fw but I never played with this board so I'm not 100% sure. Stay safe.
@@fluidfix thanks for your reply, I have manage to read the chip but the RCunlocked couldn’t find the password, I wonder what’s the other option I’m using CH341A programmer .
did you try patching the file like I shown here ?

t560 da bir türlü yapamadım. bios dosyasını patch dosyasına sürüklüyorum olmuyor. sürüklenmiyor.
This is for 470&480 I did not try on 560 beside that if the script is not reacting you have a file that is not bios I think. Just like I explained in video..
Stay happy and safe.

Hi. Worth trying I think. It works on 480 so IF build looks the same than I would try if I would be you - please write if you do and tell if it worked here
Thank you.
Hi, sorry if I bother you, but I tried to download the script, but I did not found it
I just checked and it is there - you need to have an account to download it and if you cant see it initially then you need to refresh the page.
Hope that helps.
Stay safe.
@@fluidfix yes, I found that. The day after I saw only the images and not the file. Thanks!
Where the chip is located?
Hi. If you watch the video you will see . Stay safe.
Beside the ram slot. You can find using the marking on the motherboard as shown in the video. U49, PC610. Mine is a winbond branded chip
I'm sorry, but I didn't understand correctly which file is being erased, please save it on the forum
Hi. Thank you for reaching out. I get everything you said up to "please save it on the forum." What file you are talking about and what do you mean by save it on the forum?
@@fluidfix At the 14 minute mark you drop the file and have created a new file. After 15 minutes, you erase the file. Do you then erase the original, unmodified file, or the patched file? I wanted you to write in your answer which one you delete, because I didn't understand it exactly. I understood it that you erase the patched file, the one at the top, and then you write it back. Did I understand it correctly?But the question arises: why delete the same file and then save it again?Thanks
Hey there. Thank you for clearing to me what was troubling you. At that time I press erase in the software to erase the file that is written in to the chip , you have to do that (Best practice) to avoid potential errors when writing patched file to this same chip. Look carefully as the patched file and original dump are still on my computer. DO NOT DELEATE THOSE. So what I delegated was what was already written my friend. Hope that helps you. If not just write here again and ill try my best to help.
Stay safe and happy.
@@fluidfix Thank you, I understood, but I have one more question. After 20 minutes, you soldered the patched chip to the laptop. Then you desoldered it and wrote the original chip on it. Then you soldered it to the laptop again. My question is, did you erase the patched chip and then upload the original chip to it?.Because your video shows that you didn't erase the patched chip, you just uploaded the original, unmodified chip onto it. Did I understand correctly?Thanks
Hey. Always erase then check if it is erased by reading it and comparing data then write new data and compare to the one on your hard drive just to make sure that it is exactly the same - if not repeat the cycle until you get it correct. That is what we should always do no matter what we do that is safest way and doing it that way we are sure that if something goes wrong it was not due to what we were doing. Stay safe and keep fighting to fix stuff it is worth it - the feeling I get make my day every time.
