[@ThisDreamIsReal]

THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@ddcll9538]

Thank you ao mich for the video. I have a Thinkpad P52 that needs to be unlocked. I suppose this method should work on this machine as well?

[@aoeaster]

There is no harm in trying it out. I hope it works for you.

[@MoxmadSchach]

thank you very much, please tell me if this method can be used for Lenovo T460

[@aoeaster]

Yes, It should work for T460

[@MightyAngel-77]

can you help me understand how to do it for Ubuntu Desktop - I am new to linux and see your instructions are mostly windows so I just need a boost in getting the programs success installed on linux

[@edermendoza4382]

great video. Excuse me, can I remove the supervisor password from a x1 carbon 8 gen with this MX25L8006E chip?

[@aoeaster]

I haven't seen it done on a X1 Carbon 8th Gen, but I guess it would be worth trying.

[@ThisDreamIsReal]

Would you happen to have a bios file for t470 and thunderbolt bios type 20jn I did backups but they both seem corrupt the machine now does not post. the power button lights for 1 second and then nothing, the fan spins off and on a few times then stop

[@aoeaster]

I currently don't have a BIOS for T470

[@ThisDreamIsReal]

@@aoeaster ok thank anyway!! The video was very helpful

[@gokunex3]

Thank you the password was enter.. thank you....

[@aoeaster]

I'm glad it helped!

Hey,
I am about to follow your tutorial to the letter and therefore buy the USB BIOS Programmer. My T480 has a W25Q128JVSQ chip and on Amazon there are many USB BIOS Programmer models that are not indicated as compatible to work on this Winbond chip model (at least it is not listed)... should I try anyway or should I find another compatible USB module ?

[@aoeaster]

You can go ahead and buy it. I believe it will work well so long as you are using asprogrammer for reading and writing to the chip.

[@kFjuL]

Nice thank you ! So i will try it.
About the ssd, can I choose any model?@@aoeaster

[@kFjuL]

@@aoeaster thank you ! For the new SSD I want to install, does the model matter ?

[@aoeaster]

@@kFjuL The model doesn't matter.

[@kFjuL]

@@aoeaster Thanks again. Let's get to work!

[@AhmedBinTariq]

Is installing a blank hard disk necessary or I can just disconnect the hard disk with OS and it will work?

[@aoeaster]

It's necessary since the laptop boots to Windows automatically without it.

[@davidoderinlo1314]

But can i try not using any hard disk and it will work because i did not have an extra hard disk or i should just use the one on it and format it after removing the password ​@@aoeaster

[@aoeaster]

Yes, it would still work without a hard disk installed.

[@Junior-iw6ye]

so your saying there isn't any backdoor password to get it off the computer?

[@DanielPostma-xn2yr]

i get error that says that certutil unknown arg -hasfile
do u have a solution?

[@aoeaster]

There might be an error in the command typed. Check and verify the command, including the cases (lower and upper cases). Hope that helps.

[@Lu-eq3db]

I assume the same methode also applies to T480s Model right? I recently bought one and might need to follow your guide step by step. Great tutorial!

[@aoeaster]

Thanks!

[@ios6user]

I got 480s too
Any news?

[@aoeaster]

Yes, the same method applies.

[@ManniLive]

Would this work for the t490s?

[@aoeaster]

I haven't tried it, but it's worth trying.

[@davidoderinlo1314]

Thank you the system as been revive but wholeness patching it so that I can remove the password it was showing error

[@davidoderinlo1314]

When running the servitude command which end with mds to check if the two files produce the same ach value I brings out error but if I did not put mds at the end of the code it show that they have the same value

[@davidoderinlo1314]

But the patching process is not working

[@davidoderinlo1314]

I don't know if it is the patcher that is not working

[@wolf-2003]

Will this work on lenovo E560?

[@aoeaster]

I'm not certain. You can try it out.

[@ngocthang2803]

T450s ?

[@reocam8918]

why not show the working ones first😂

[@aoeaster]

Just a chronological order of the steps taken 😊

[@srosh_1]

@@aoeaster I appreciated that! Very fun watch

[@JukainPwnsSurvives]

What was the voltage used on the bios chip I want to make sure I don’t fry mine

[@aoeaster]

I went with the default voltage. It's the voltage supplied by the USB port on the laptop.
