My motherboard recently took a dive on my Clevo P170EM. Luckilly I was able to find an inexpensive replacement and all the other hardware seems to be working. However, the new motherboard has stock Clevo BIOS instead of the @Prema mod BIOS that I was running on my previous motherboard. This BIOS is not compatible with the GTX 980M. I still have the .zip file with the Premamod BIOS, but it is encrypted and I do not know the password. Does anybody know the password? The file name is.....Neptune_X_v3.zip. I have tried variations of biosmods.wordpress.com and variations of premamod.com as the password with no luck. I bought the GPU from Eurocom in 2015, but their tech support has not responded to my requests for the password. I will update this post if they do reply with the password so nobody wastes their time.
EDIT: I was able to use a brute force program to determine the password. Thank you to anybody that replied.

hi, the newest bios for the em series should support the 980m nativly. maybe your card didn't survive the motherboard incident.
seems, you need to mod your driver, maybe this is helpful for you:

The BIOS from newer model EM machines support the 980m natively. The BIOS for the P170EM does not because it does not support UEFI (required to use the GPU). I have not tried other Clevo BIOS from newer EM models in my laptop. Maybe I will do that next time. It does not matter anymore because I was able to "brute force" my way to find the password. Took a couple days since it was 9 digits and I was searching all typable characters

OK, i was not aware that there were EM series machines which does not support uefi, i thought the HM machines were the problematic ones - anyway, good your problem is solved.
Someone Please Help Clevo P170EM with GTX 980M
