I have an old decommissioned Folio 9470m that has a BIOS password on it. Even being older, I can still make use of it as a Linux or Chromebook machine, but I can't boot alternate media since it's locked by the BIOS. Reading a lot of posts, I see that using the SMC.BIN file on a USB bootable should be able to clear this up. Question is: how do I get this elusive SMC.BIN file that I need?
