AMITSESetup Decryptor

The tool uses UEFIExtract to dump the entire image, naively search for a folder ending in "AMITSEDecrypt", iterate through the body.bin to find all possible hashes stored in there, decrypt them with the XOR key, remove every second byte, then convert to ASCII.

Usage: python3 AMITSEDecrypt <Path/to/image.bin>

Hope it'll be of use to someone and excuse my horrible Python skills.

Sir this Error come how to solve?
Thank you sir

Dear brothers this program did not work for me even though I have installed python. An error occurs. so tell me clear explained

Please help me decoding Supervisor and user password.
I got a Panasonic CF-53DA261QW. It has both Supervisor and User password enabled and set in BIOS. The installed Hard drive is also password protect (Supervisor password).
I don't have the passwords. The hard drive is only recognized by the original this laptop. If I mount the hard drive in other Panasonic toughbook (no password protected), it won't boot up or recognized. DISKPART can not partition or format it.
Following is reading from the BIOS
0000 5B 03 B6 49 11 B3 6C 48 C7 3A 22 23 7D F1 D8 E0
0010 33 E7 8E 4E E9 B1 44 08 9F 5E FA F0 55 D8 B0 6C

Don't you think it's a better idea to just upload a dump here?

[oaktreelimb]

Thank you. I'm newbie and don't know much. I can only get a ROM file by using AMI AFU For Aptio 4 on my laptop.

Didn't work for me, and I'm happy to just zero out the bytes, but here is my original BIOS file to help improve the tool.

Cheers!

Can you make the usage a little more descriptive? Not everyone knows how to use python. For example, I can be an example. I did not understand anything. Please do this if possible. Thank you so much.

Hello, I was also not able to use the Python tool. Could you help me with removing the supervisor password from Panasonic FZ-G1 device?

Bro, I see in the video that you have a "Password Recovery.py" file, right ? Can you share it to me ?

Hope it works fine, try and let me know.

[Toshko79]

Hello, just to confirm before I brick the device: I can use the Aptio_V_AMI_Firmware_Update_Utility and re-flash this, right? Do I have to tick a particular option or it's a straightforward process? I'm asking all these cause I don't have programmer and I'm not familiar with IC desoldering.
Thanks in advance.

[Toshko79]

Nope. It doesn't even start flashing the ROM. Please see attached.

I don't know how to reprogram the bios chip without a programmer.
