Hey there! Your old Lenovo X220 is in good hands now, but the BIOS is still protected by the previous technicians. Do you need help getting the password to install a new Windows image?

If I can't find a solution, I'll send them an email instead.

I discovered this by searching online and found a similar component on an HP desktop motherboard.

To my knowledge, there isn't a jumper in this device. I'll keep checking!

Uncertain if it matches the earlier red models, I needed to set up PLoP Boot Manager for access. It seems clearing or resetting the BIOS doesn’t fix the password, so I skipped that step.
