Please help me in this modell. There is an AT26DF321 inside.
I need a 'virgin' bios dump, becuase when i try to delete the password inside the dumped rom , alwas : WANRNING - Tha machine not is committed state!

The problem is the Intel ME is still locked (AMT) And i can't find where the password is stored.. so unabel to reset the AMT.

I try to 'make' an virigin dump with an bios upgrade file..but i can't..

Plesae help me!

Thank You!

The default AMT & ME password is "admin", unless someone changed it.

I'll check out if I have the virgin BIOS and let you know.

The password is seems to be correct...

But when I type it , ask a new one.

Intel(R) ME New Password:

Everything is rejected..

And an error message : Inetl(R) ME password change rejected

But i don't want to change the password...

I have got the dump , but i dont know hot to clear correctly

[victor]

Of course, you must enrol a new one

I dont understand what you want with AMT anyway, you gotta unlock the BIOS password so leave the AMT alone...

I just want to unlock the bios.
But when i deleted the password in the dump. (maybe in wrond field)
There is an error message on startup :

Warning - Machine not in committed state!

So, the manual sad ..this problem is Vrpo and Amt problem.

Try to reconfigure ..

Maybe , can you tell me how to delet the password?

You gotta read the serial flash AT26DF321.
We can try to patch the BIOS and disable stringent security if that was set using the ROMpaq image, then all you have to do is to flash the patched binary back, remove the main battery and start up the laptop on AC adapter to remove the password.

BTW, ff you don't have a tool to program that kind of chip, we have the right one called SPEG.
