T440p BIOS Password Reset
Hello.
Does the method of resetting the BIOS password by shorting SCL and SDA work? Will it work on my T440p?

Re: T440p BIOS Password Reset
No, it won't.
You'll need a programmer like CH314A, a SOIC-8 cable and another laptop to use it with.
You'll need to dump the locked BIOS, make changes in that dump, then reload the modified dump.
Any more is NOT to be discussed on this forum.

Re: T440p BIOS Password Reset
I have Ch341A and SOIC8. I can do a BIOS dump with this.
What exactly needs to be changed in this BIOS dump?

Re: T440p BIOS Password Reset
While I understand and agree with the principle here, there are many, many, older Thinkpads headed for the dumpster whos life could be usefully extended if they weren't locked. Not sure how you could provide information for older Thinkpads that wouldn't encourage theft of the latest one. Maybe there's a way?
