About UNLOCKNG
From our own method to a ThinkPad unlocking service.
I have worked extensively with Lenovo ThinkPads since 2018. My repair experience and the development of independent solutions led to UNLOCKNG: a service that puts locked devices back into use.
From our own method to a working service
In September 2025, we established our own method for successfully unlocking newer ThinkPads. Over the following year, we used it in customer orders involving single devices, larger batches and work with repair centres.
We tested the whole process in daily work, from the first enquiry through shipping and checks to return delivery. After around a year of service experience, we are presenting our service through this website. We want to help more businesses, repair centres and private customers with locked ThinkPads. ThinkPad unlocking in practice describes some of these orders.
Who is responsible for your order?
I am Deniz Görkey, responsible for UNLOCKNG, the ThinkPad unlocking service of DG Consulting in Hamburg. You discuss your device, scope and next steps directly with me.
Our focus
We remove supervisor passwords (SVP) and Certificate-Based BIOS Authentication (CBA) from ThinkPads. We work on single devices, larger batches and detached mainboards. The device finder shows models and their verification status. We confirm scope and feasibility for your specific order.
UNLOCKNG is an independent service, not a Lenovo partner or authorised Lenovo service provider. General repairs, data recovery and removal of every kind of device lock are not included in the regular BIOS unlock.
If your enquiry falls outside our scope, we will gladly check whether we can put you in touch with a suitable partner in our network.
Working with you
We agree model, condition, price and shipping before you send a device. Unexpected issues are discussed with you; chargeable additional work requires express agreement. Unlocking does not require user data, and we prefer devices without an SSD. Our shipping preparation guide explains the prerequisites.
The service process and FAQ explain processing, No Fix / No Fee and how we handle existing damage. For larger fleets, we agree batches and timing individually. We value personal contact and clear agreements.
Clarify your case beforehand
Tell us the model, lock display and quantity so we can assess your case. Unsure which lock you have? Contact us. If the device and scope are already clear, you can prepare a service request.
