I have seen websites that claim to have masterpasswords for BIOSes of different laptops.
No idea if they will work or not.
There isn't a master password opportunity for late model Lenovo laptops.
You're going to need an SPI Flash Programmer to dump your existing locked BIOS, then a bit of assistance to clean it before you upload the unlocked dump. Now you can enjoy unlocked Lenovo Carbon X1.

Ugh, I was afraid it was going to be something like that, which is a bit above my pay grade. Or at least I'd give it a go, but I may fry the thing. The Russians claim you can bypass the password by shorting out one or more pins on the SPI flash at boot, but that also sounds like a one-shot-is-all-you-get approach...
