BIOS password and crack - progress

Well, I managed to get a BIOS dump a while back and ran it against CMOSPWD v2.5. Didn't do much good.

The output I got was:


D:\testi>cmospwd /l webplay.bin

CmosPwd - BIOS Cracker 2.5, November 2 2000, Copy

BTW, the BIOS is Phoenix 4.0 Release 6.0 and 128KB. I also took a hexeditor and looked at the dump file. Unless the password is "DEVEL1A9" (one-A-nine), we're out of luck. I don't have my webplayer with me, so I'll test the password as soon as I get a chance.

I would be interested in this as well... It may be easy enough to feed through a disassembler so we can trace the actual code.

Bad news: I let my bios brute force attacker run and it returned 3 results.. I have tried all 3 and I am not getting in. I wonder if the bios password might contain ASCII chars..
♂♀♪♫ or something.. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Btw: What bios crackers have people tried? I am going to try some others that I have..
and also, has anyone run through all the default password for the bios? I know that one list was posted and had about 50+ or so, just wondering if anyone had tried.

Well, I'm not sure I want to be to person to host the BIOS image. If there's someone who is willing to host the image on a website, I'm sure we can arrange something.

BTW, it's not that hard to get the bios image. You can pop the cmos chip in another computer (like the Iopener) and use Uniflash to dump the contents to a file.
