Hi guys. Its been a long time since my last one and Happy New Year to everyone. I just bought last year a T480 and unbeknowst to me it has a BIOS admin lock. No wonder it sold so cheaply for an i7. I know I can do the Ch some
thing EEPROM programing magic in python to remove the password but I do not have the mental inclination to learn python now. Is there an easier way to do this short of buying a new mobo?

755cdxd, are you able to flash libreboot with a locked bios, since the docs specify updating the UEFI firmware and EC firmware?
