    Asus X412F password locked (BIOS)

    i have an ASUS X412F laptop with a password request when starting the laptop.
    i dumped the BIOS (i have a TL866II PLUS) but the eeprom is an 25B127DSIG that is not (i think) supported by this programmer... (it suggest GD25Q127C or GD25Q128B)


    not sure that the dump is a right one and i can't try to reflash another clean image beause the recognized eeprom is not the right one.

    any suggestion?

    this is the dump: (reading it using the GD25Q127C preset)

      the posted bios is longer ... remove the bios chip from the motherboard before writing or reading ... if you use the clip you may have errors..use for writing GD25Q127C ... try the bios ...

          the eeprom was removed i also noticed the wrong length... this is maybe because is not correctly recognized by the programmer?

                                  ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
                                  by grimacelord
                                  Hello,

                                  I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

                                  I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

                                  The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

                                  Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...

                                  Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

                                  I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

                                  [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                  by zenius
                                  Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                                  Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                                  TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" Bios Password Problem?

                                  Hello,

                                  I'm using TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" model laptop for over 3 years and i'm entering the same bios administrator password everyday. My laptop has Aptio BIOS (American Megatrends, AMI).

                                  But today it's not accepting my password. I'm %100 sure i'm entering the correct password.

                                  I'm trying to reset my bios without success.

                                  I tried :

                                  -I removed the BIOS battery and main battery. Waited for a long time but it didn't work. They already stated in the user manual that the password will not be reset even if the batteries...
