A collection of master password generators for various BIOS/UEFI firmware from vendors like Dell, HP, Asus, Samsung, and Sony. It powers the bios-pw.org website and helps recover access to laptops locked by forgotten BIOS passwords.
Use cases
- generate a master BIOS password for a Dell laptop from its service tag
- unlock a laptop with a forgotten BIOS password
- recover BIOS password from Insyde H20 hash code
- get a master password for a Samsung or Sony laptop serial number
- self-host a BIOS password generator tool
When to choose
- you need to recover a BIOS/UEFI password for a supported vendor's laptop
- you want an offline or self-hosted alternative to bios-pw.org
- you need a scriptable keygen for many supported BIOS hash formats
When to avoid
- your BIOS vendor or hash format is not in the supported list
- you need to bypass disk encryption or OS-level authentication rather than firmware passwords
- you want a general-purpose password manager or generator
