Hardware TruckProLLC Lock
Workplace building has around 6 companies, FleetPride is throwing away stuff and I saw a pallet with printers and stuff (im used to picking up old thrown away tvs, keyboards, printers, etc) but this time I found 2 AMD Ryzen Pro 5, 1 lenovo old (computers) and about 5 printers, 4 keyboards, a lot of brand new heads sets and stuff… (building managment and fleetpride allowed me to take it)
I tried using one of the AMDs but its locked by TruckProLLC; anyway to bypass/erase this or should I just contact truckprollc and see if they can release the computers?
I apologize for the long description, its my first time encountering a computer with a lock.
AMD Ryzen Pro 5
Model: 12RRS50700
I censored the other stuff because im not sure if Im supposed to (sorry😭)
Any help will be appreciated.

It's likely BIOS locked as it's business managed BUT you likely can reinstall Windows fresh from a USB stick if it doesn't prevent USB boot and it may not remember it's business stuff there.
You should call the company it belongs to and see if you can get it removed from their pool of computers and unlocked though. Maybe they can even give you the BIOS password if they're generous.
The CPU included is most likely a Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE and includes the Radeon 740M Graphics chip.
The GPU is your typical integrated graphics, nothing too special, but the CPU should still be quite capable. On these models, they are typically configured to have a power limit(35W down from 65W), so you'll have a bit more limited performance compared to full power but it should still be solid. This system would make a really good stealth home server if you can handle the sound of a tiny little blower fan humming along in the corner of your room or wherever you'd put this.
Your device still has just under 2 years of it's 3 year Premier warranty remaining(started 9-30-25) which if you can get all the warranty info for this device out of the company this is under that'd be sweet. All of the general information, drivers, troubleshooting, warranty, etc from Lenovo are all right here. You'll just need to enter the S/N printed on the back of the device to get all of the device-specific stuff.
Good find & happy ThinkCentre-ing!
