      Re: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 UEFI password

      Hi to all, i write to ask help.

      As many other users i've bought a SP3 (i5 4300u+256gb ssd) on ebay without being informed of the UEFI pw....

      I've read the first pages of this thread but i'm stuck with FPTW64

      i have downloaded it from win-raid forum as said initially (mine is v15.40 r1 from this month) but when i try to dump to file

      Code:
      FPTW64.exe -D SP3
      i get two errors:


      Error 39: PCH is not supported.

      Error 620: Unknown hardware platform.


      FPT Operation Failed.


      Please Help me! i have always such this bad luck every time i have to face a sw problem....

          Re: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 UEFI password

          i've finally found my real dumbness!


          i was launching the wrong command (without the -bios parameter)

          finally i have the bios.bin file!!


          please someone can extract the bios pw from there for me?

          alternatively can you explain how to retrieve it from the file(i know that is hex)? would be very helpful also for other users that stumble upon this thread!

          thank you!

              OMG THANK YOU!! IT WORKS!! I LOVE YOU!

              i was wandering to buy another one or two SP3 for my mother and my sister from the same seller(thus probably they will be pw protected too)

              i will come back to ask again if it is possible.

              thank you so much again!

              P.S why cannot be fully explained the last part of this process(find hex string-decrypt)? it involves breaking some rules of the forum? or commercial rule about manifacturer?

              thank you again and anyway!

                Use the search option, it has been explained before.

                    @DennisCH

                    password = f*****u*****c*****k*****y*****o*****u

                    Just put together the characters without the "*", that's the password.

                        Hello everybody I'm a newbie here. Nice to meet you!

                        I recently bought a second-hand Surface Pro 3 which unfortunately has BIOS/UEFI locked with an unknown password. I didn't know this until the latest Windows Update failed, and I could not go into BIOS/UEFI to disable Secured Boot for recovery...

                        I manage to fully recover it from factory image, but would also like to update the TPM firmware to latest version for security sake. Secured Boot needs to be disabled to do it - could not proceed without the BIOS password

                        Have followed the steps to dump my BIOS as attached. Please help to decode the password. Thanks heaps in advance!

                                Works like a charm! Thanks heaps AAAC

                                BTW, disabling Secured Boot would cause SP3 to boot with a bright red background, quite scary...

                                        Open your dump with Hxd or other Hexadecimal program

                                        Locate area with
                                        texte AMITSESetup or Hex 41 4d 49 54 53 45 53 65 74 75 70.

                                        Take the hex values in the red area (two passwords can be stored).

                                        Put the hex values in excel decoder.

I also have a surface pro 3 that is uefi locked because I forgot the password and I've been looking for a long time how to reset my uefi password and i found this site. I don't know much about computers and tried looking at winraid but honestly I don't understand it, and don't know which link to download. Anyone here can help me? Thank you so much
