New ThinkPads BIOS Supervisor Password Graphic

[igtoth]

Hey everyone,

I recently acquired a ThinkPad T14 Gen 3, and while setting up the BIOS supervisor password, I encountered something unexpected. Previously, on older ThinkPad models, upon booting up the machine, I would only see the graphic of a lock and prompt, but now, after setting up the BIOS supervisor password, I'm greeted with a different graphical interface upon startup, as shown in the attached image.

Is there any way to revert this to the simpler lock graphic that was common in older ThinkPad models? I find the new graphical interface somewhat distracting and would prefer the simplicity of the older design. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I don't have that machine but go into BIOS/Config and at the bottom of that screen, change Setup UI from "Graphical" to "Simple text".
No guarantee but give it a try.
If you don't like it, or doesn't work, change it back.

I've tried that .. change only main BIOS screens. password prompt continues as GUI

T14s is not all that different from T14.

Interesting. Would that work on a G3 T14s?

I have the password. I just want the old style prompt back. That GUI isn't nice at all.

Tough.
