    Hello,

    A second-hand PC cannot be turned back on unless the previous user has transmitted or removed the BIOS protection they put in place.

    Especially since it may be a company PC, resold without authorization.

    You should know that to fight abuse and fraud, manufacturers have strengthened the protections.

    You will therefore not find on CCM any "tips" to bypass this block.

    This is explained in the charter:
