Found a hidden bios password bypass on a Lenovo T480 at a client site in Denver

Last month I was working in an office where the IT guy left and nobody knew the BIOS password on 10 of their Lenovo T480s. I figured out you can short the system board pins near the CMOS battery to reset it without removing anything. Saved me from desoldering the EEPROM chip like I used to do. Has anyone else tried this method or is there a better trick for other models?

Maybe I should try that instead of my usual method of just crying in frustration.

Wait, do you cry in frustration too?
