Would shorting the SCL and SDA of the T480 bios chip on the board unlock the supervisor locked bios?

Hi Guys, just recently acquired a T480 that I did not realize to be having a bios supervisor password enabled. Would shorting the SCL and SDA of the T480 bios chip on the board unlock the supervisor locked bios?

I keep seeing that site in my searches and but didn't trust it to find out more. Until your recommendation though. I got it and it will just have to relearn and apply some WD40 to my rusty DOS CMD skills to pull this off. Thanks a lot.

No wonder it was selling so cheap compared to others like 50% cheaper.

When I got my X41T it was locked. My girlfriend at the time work at the local college and was able to find a program that you could boot with that would bypass the bios password and allow you to either turn off or update the password giving you full access. She was a techie that figured it out so I don't know what program or hack she used but it looked pretty simple.
