Surface Pro 3 - Don't know the BIOS/UEFI password (Noob)

[TheLynx74]

Hi,

I'm setting up a Surface Pro 3 for a friend, I've been able to install the latest version of Windows 10.

On bootup it shows a red background and the Surface logo, it still boots ok into windows and he can logon.

I tried to go into the BIOS/UEFI and it asks for a password. My friend doesn't know the password, I can press enter and get limited access.

Can you please help me with the steps to recover the password so can turn on TPM and Secure boot?

Thanks

Use flash programming tool v9. 5 I guess. Command fptw64.exe -bios -d surface.bin and then upload the file here.

This model happens to have AMITSESetup section which has weakly encrypted password in it. So just needs to be located and decrypted.

peste works hard to help people but in many cases, it's better to work smart.
Modifying surface pro 3 bios is kinda useless because that would mean disassembling and that's way too hard on surfaces.

Here is the password: 444444444444
