@@UltimateDIY Same T430 model. I guess the one I had is a slightly different revision perhaps, but it worked well. (It was for a client, I absolutely needed this to switch the Bios back from legacy boot to UEFI with secure boot to remove Windows 7 and have it optimized for Windows 10)
@@tonypowell250 I used a microscope and soldering iron with a fine point knife tip. Specifically an Amscope SE-400-Z at 10x zoom and a Mini TS-100 soldering iron with the knife tip. I used small gauge enamel wire for my wires.
this video saved my day, the laptop had the pass configured to access the bios, I mean, the laptop can boot normally, however I couldn't change any configuration on the bios, I followed this tutorial and worked like a charm, but in my case, the hard drive is encrypted with bitlocker, so, after the hard drive was inserted and the laptop booted windows asked me for the recovery key, luckily I have the recovery key on my microsoft account and windows could boot again, my advice, if the hard drive is encrypted with bitlocker would be a good idea to have the recovery key in hand if needed.
Works great on W530 as well, BIOS chip is at bottom of the board, about below the Intel PCH/right side of mousepad. Not those 25L6406 and 25L3206 next to the Intel PCH on top!!! Was stupid and tried it first on 25L3206, messed the BIOS (5 beeps) and I had to clone BIOS with CH341/flashrom from another W530. Was quite lucky&happy, it didn't destroy Intel PCH.... Cloned BIOS and shorted bottom pins on right side (Pin5-6) right after splash screen, Bios unlocked!
Thank you very much, my Lenovo is working perfectly again with your help. I was so frustrated because my Levono was absolutely dead but you saved my day.
It would have been useful if you had explained how you identified these two points that need to be shortened. That would have help identify them on slightly different model.
Worked for first t430 with what I think had supervisor and hdd password. The second one has just hdd and goes to password screen really quickly and I can’t seem to get it to work
this is the second time watching this video helped me. Thanks again! I wound up soldering wire leads to the pads with a pushbutton in between. Worked like a charm!
Thanks for the video. I have the same tweezers and tried your method. Though challenging to short the vias between pressing buttons on the front side, I succeeded in only 3 tries and was able to remove the supervisor password (bought this machine from a recycler). Now I just need to remove Computrace, but that seems to be quite difficult.
This is a Definite easy solution. Thanks again. Just a few notes. Timing is everything... and you have to short both ports at the same time... other than that good video. two thumbs up!!!
Well...passwords can be a good thing sometimes. I met my wife when I fixed her computer. I needed to stay there for a while because she had forgotten her bios password and after a bios reset Windows did not start anymore.
Just finished doing this and i can say what a hack!! it enables me to instal new ssd and boot from usb, now running win 10 with all my backups clean and simple. 👍👍
There are others that have this same model that was able to remove the cmos and they were able to enter the bios, didnt work for me. This video worked perfectly!

hi there, came across a w520 but the seller (found it in recycling i guess) says there is some kind of lock and cannot boot from the primary disk (there is no disk anyway) and the machine only boots from usb. Is this a supervisor password case? What do you think?
Hey is there a way that I can show you pictures. I have a Lenovo T430s and I don't have that button battery and underneath the where you take off the panels/covers in the back it looks different.
I was hoping this was the same procedure for the T530 but the Eprom isnt in the same place. In a W530 vid the Eprom is completely different on my T530 and is surface mounted, unless its hiding elsewhere on the board. :(
Hi, great tutorial thanks for sharing. Will this work on T460s I can get into BIOS but can’t alter secure boot it’s greyed out.? Thanks in advance for helpful responses .
Does this also work on a Ideapad 320S 14IKB? I have one with a set password that i cant get off with any other trick up until now. I would be thankful for any advise

Hey i get this error after flashing 1vyrain www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/ha5yyh/t430_bios_3113_beep_error/ Is this video helps in this situation ?
It would be really nice if someone has a guide on how to read the passwords on old machines. The case is that at my work they regularly throw out machines and most of them has boot and supervisor password. The boot password I know but not the supervisor. If I can get the supervisor out of an old machine - then I'll have the supervisor for the newer machines and with a new drive and perhaps ram (they some times remove that as well) then those machines are perfectly fit for a second life. Can someone help? For the Time being I have a T41, T420 and T430 at my disposal. A guide on how to read out the password from either would be very nice. It's fine if it involves unsoldering an IC and using an external ROM reader/writer as long as there's no "obvious" things selfexplantory things only people dealing with rom readers know. I can solder very well and to some extend also SMD like the ROM in the T41 (don't know about the others) - but again ROM readers/writers I know nothing about.
You are not supposed to know the supervisor password that easily. A secret is that we have 100s of different "security chips" to look into and you could learn 3 or something by really doing something instead of thinking about it.
I have a Lenovo T430 that I love and would like to try Linux so need to go into the Bios to change the boot order but I am unable to get into the bios I have tried F12 AND F1 with no luck it just boots into W10 any help would be good thanks, Bob, in the UK
Think there are variants on the T430 boards, mine T430 board, on video time 7:04, the top pin is not link to the bottom rows 4th pin checked with multimeter, because the top pin is not actually connected to the thin copper line.
Hi, I have the problem that I can't make any changes in the BIOS, as if I were in read-only mode. Even though the password is blank I can't change anything, just view. And I have removed the battery and being incorrect the system time and not being able to put it right by modifying the bios I can not boot the pc, how can I go back to modify the bios?

Yes, because there is no user password, but the supervisor password is in place. It only lets you enter in read only mode.

@@UltimateDIY am rezolvat ieri, a trebuit sa demontez si partea de sub laptop si sa caut cipul U22 sa ii fac scurt, la T430 e apa de ploaie, la asta e de muncit :D
(I got recently a used T430 and used 1vyrain to unlock the bios. I was happily using it for about 2 weeks, until I realized that I don't have Intel VT-x enabled in the bios. I rebooted and enabled it, but when I try to load a VM, I get the same message (VT-x: (disabled in BIOS)). I checked again, and it is effectively disabled! Trying to re-enable Intel VT-x, I accidentally enabled/disabled another option (don't remember its name, but it is on the processor configuration). Reboot, only black screen. I thought that removing the bios battery would reset it to its default settings. But after removing/re-inserting it, my T430 only beeps (3-1-1-3), which according to the hardware maintenance manual, it is 'Three short beeps,pause,one short beep,pause,one more short beep,pause,and three short beeps' which corresponds to 'Remove the installed PCI devices', I'm not sure what does that mean, but I did not install any new PCI device! I did the classical procedures, removing battery/ram/etc... Nothing helps.) Is this video helps in this situation ?
Sorry, but I have no idea. Try to remove the wifi card, I'm thinking it might be the only removable pci device. You might need to reflash the bios in the end, to get rid of the wrong setting that it does not like. I really don't know an easy way out. This video will not help, because it's good just for password removing.
I set the password as 123456 and after restart I type 123456, but the password is refused. I need to make this work because I removed the battery from the BIOS and it is giving date and time problems. Is it safe to perform this process over and over again? Is it possible to lock the laptop?
At first try. U should always leave it blanck . (2x retype nothing). And save it 3x . . After that. Its easer to acces and change it into your desire. 12345

Many thanks
Sadly, no. As far as I know, this can't be done on the T440.
my own is lenovo L420 please can you help me to resolve my because my is different from yours pls
(I got recently a used T430 and used 1vyrain to unlock the bios.
I was happily using it for about 2 weeks, until I realized that I don't have Intel VT-x enabled in the bios. I rebooted and enabled it, but when I try to load a VM, I get the same message (VT-x: (disabled in BIOS)). I checked again, and it is effectively disabled!
Trying to re-enable Intel VT-x, I accidentally enabled/disabled another option (don't remember its name, but it is on the processor configuration). Reboot, only black screen. I thought that removing the bios battery would reset it to its default settings. But after removing/re-inserting it, my T430 only beeps (3-1-1-3), which according to the hardware maintenance manual, it is 'Three short beeps,pause,one short beep,pause,one more short beep,pause,and three short beeps' which corresponds to 'Remove the installed PCI devices', I'm not sure what does that mean, but I did not install any new PCI device!
I did the classical procedures, removing battery/ram/etc... Nothing helps.)
Is this video helps in this situation ?
Sorry, but I have no idea. Try to remove the wifi card, I'm thinking it might be the only removable pci device. You might need to reflash the bios in the end, to get rid of the wrong setting that it does not like. I really don't know an easy way out.
This video will not help, because it's good just for password removing.
@@UltimateDIY Ok thank you, i think after all i need to reflash stock bios with raspberryPi or bios programmer to fix it

Do you know how to remove CMOS supervisor password for Lenovo L530?
No, I don't know.
I set the password as 123456 and after restart I type 123456, but the password is refused. I need to make this work because I removed the battery from the BIOS and it is giving date and time problems. Is it safe to perform this process over and over again? Is it possible to lock the laptop?
It should not lock the laptop, but I don't recomand abusing this sollution.
@@UltimateDIY After much insistence, it worked! Thanks!!!!
Great! Welcome!
At first try. U should always leave it blanck . (2x retype nothing). And save it 3x . . After that. Its easer to acces and change it into your desire. 12345
