    Forgotten BIOS password Lenovo Ideapad 3 14il05

    Hello all. I messed up big time by forgetting the BIOS password for my laptop. As i'm aware is not possible to get a reset key (like on Dell or Acer). Is there any way to reset the password or reading it from a eeprom dump? I have a CH341A programmer that it think should read it but I don't have the knowledge to analyze the hex data.

    Read eeprom with BIOS and share here or ping me on PM. I can help.

      Here is the dump that hopefully I read correctly. The chip in question is a winbond 25q128jvsq.
      TIA.

      Edit:

      I figured it out! Used the video below as a guide. Thanks dentka15 for you initiative.
