Hello,

All the passwords have been enabled on my machine, power-up password, supervisor password, hard drive password.
The password I can't remember is the one that depicts a small PC at boot-time.
I do remember the hard drive password however ...

There is a TPM chip, fingerprint password was enabled,
I did try to remove the battery, but now the fingerprint authentification is gone,
I can't boot the laptop at all ... Also, I haven't enabled a passphrase

I'm asking you, experts :
can this model be unlocked by the means of reading the Atmel chip ?

Thank you very much

Hello,

You have to read the chip anyway. So do it.

Victor,

YOU ARE A GENIUS

THANK YOU !!!

I did buy the parts for both kits just in case,
It took me nearly 8 hours, to solder the PC, build the kit, remount the PC ... but it failed !
So, at about 4am I decided to stop, but later I found out I did reverse the MAX232, it was mirrored.
Today I reversed it and tried again but always the same message : controller not found ...
Then I built the simple kit ... it worked

(I have sent my dump to support@allservice.ro)

THANK YOU
THANK YOU
THANK YOU

BEST REGARDS !!!
