L440 Supervisor PWD recovery with Joe's KMX1 - Eeeprom location
I have to recover the forgotten supervisor PWD with Joe's KMX1 tool on an L440 unit but I don't know where is the chip itself.
Please help me if you can!
Thanks in advance!

Look for an L08 chip.
And how about asking that (in)famous Joe?

Unfortunately Joe has not information about this model...
Meantime I found this chip... please check the linked picture: http://www.kepmegoszto.com/201601101221 ... 30_pro.jpg
What do you think?

Many thanks!RealBlackStuff wrote:Yes, that's the one you want.
ps: are you sure in that KMX1 will work on this system? (just because on the T440 doesn't work...)

Never used or seen such a KXM1, but those L08 chips are all the same, so why wouldn't it work?
Just realized you need an SPI programmer for newer machines like T440/T540, W540 and likely your L440.
Your KXM1 is in that case useless here.
That is as far as this thread can go.
