I guess I wasn't clear. I'm asking you to describe exactly what scenario you're imagining. You can't simply assume the attacker already has the bios password hash. How do they get that? And if they can get that, why do they still need to brute force the bios password? Why can't they do what they need to do already?

Do you know of a vulnerability that allows someone to access the bios password hash but can't also be used to hack the election without bothering with the bios password?
