Operation
Clear the BIOS / EC password
The machine asks for a password at boot or in Setup. Upload the dump: the password is erased in the file, never read or revealed.
Every operation is free during launch.
When to use it
- Forgotten BIOS password
- Password asked at boot or in Setup
- EC password (Dell, HP, Lenovo…)
Second-hand machine locked by an admin password, password lost by the customer, attempts used up: the analysis says whether a password is set, and which one.
At a glance
- What it does
- Removes the password that blocks boot or Setup, whether the BIOS or the embedded controller (EC) holds it.
- Which machines
- Dell, HP, ASUS / AMI, Acer / Insyde / Phoenix, Lenovo ThinkPad, Huawei / Honor.
- What you get
- The file to program, named after the machine.
- Good to know
- On some machines, a step after the first boot comes with the file.
How it goes
- 01
Upload the dump
The .bin or .rom file read with your programmer; both files for a two-chip board.
- 02
Read the sheet
In seconds and free: the machine, the chip's state, the possible operations.
- 03
Run the operation
Pick one of those the sheet offers. If the operation cannot complete, the refusal says why and no file is delivered.
- 04
Program the file
Download it and program the chip. Always keep the original dump.
What holds for every operation
Several operations, one upload
After an operation, run another on the same dump, or continue from the result. Every job keeps its history.
Two-chip BIOS
Upload both files: they are analysed together, and the result says which chip to program.

Dump analysis
Free and instant: the machine's sheet and the possible operations.
Any BIOS chip dump read with a programmer, .bin or .rom: one or two chips, plus the EC chip dump.
Rebuild from the manufacturer update
A BIOS rebuilt from the official update, with your machine's identity.
Intel and AMD, one or two chips, with the manufacturer's update for that model.
