Hello all, recently acquired a CF-54 MK2 with a locked bios. I dumped it and attempted to edit it, zeroing out the region under AMITSESetup that corresponded to a few of the dumps I compared here, but after flashing and booting back up, it says bad cmos (probably since the battery was removed) and then asks for a password again.
Model: CF-54F5518KM
S/N: 8BTTA03278
I've attached both the initial dump, made with NeoProgrammer, and my attempted edit. I'd love to learn what exactly I did wrong if anyone has pointers! Thank you!

Thank you, that worked! I think mine may have as well, turns out I was having issues flashing the chip, had to erase the chip before writing and move it to a USB 2.0 port from the 3.0 it was plugged in to, but it's password free now nonetheless! Cheers!
