Recovering the BIOS password from a Panasonic CF-U1 mk2 (AMI Aptio UEFI)

A mess of my own making

While messing with a CF-U1 handheld PC that I bought off ebay I managed to mess up the BIOS and it seems it reverted to previous settings which included an unknown BIOS password, it would however still boot into windows. Since I could still boot windows I was able to dump the bios flash using AFUWINGUI.EXE the version I used was 3.09.03.1462 which is available here:

Sometimes when working with Git you'd like to commit binary files.
But those files won't have clean comparisons with Git standard diff command.
Fortunately Git is a great tool that comes with a lot of possibilities…

MS Office

If, as a developer, you are under company constraints and must use MS Office,
you'll encounter some issues when trying to diff MS Office files.

Maybe you're asking yourself: what's the problem with that?
