Hi Victor,

I followed your tutorial to the teeth and was able to read the eeprom successfully. However, upon attempting to read the file in IBMpass, the line in 0x340 reads something that I cannot input.

How do I go about obtaining the password from this dump.bin file?

Thanks very much.

IBMpass has a translation button <AA>, use this to enable translation and take a look again at 0x338-0x33E.

If the translated word is not intelligible then it is encrypted with TCPA and the eeprom needs some of changes in there.

AA is on.

Will I need to buy a license for the eeprom writer?

If it is encrypted, you will need to do that and to pay for the TCPA reset too, because the writer is only to write eeproms.

But first I need to see the eeprom dump to be sure, please email it to support-AT-allservice.ro
