AFS Lenovo ThinkPad R400 Bios Password Bin File

BIOS .rar 489 B Shared

Lenovo ThinkPad R400 password-related bin file packed into a 489-byte RAR. Such a small file is not a system BIOS. It is most likely a small binary or note used when removing a supervisor password stored in the separate security EEPROM found on ThinkPads of this generation. Unpack it and check what it contains before programming. Read the original EEPROM with a suitable programmer and clip first, and keep that backup, since a mistaken write can worsen the lock.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @afsbiosfree. Enginerys does not host this file.
