And at least for the BIOS version I have (and the BIOS V06 available on the website), there is a default password.
Unfortunately no mention of lkwpeter, AMI_SW, or aLLy -- those would be my instinctive guesses. However, I'm puzzled that he didn't just try to clear the default password from the BIOS image before flashing it, or try a BIOS image from a different model with similar hardware; Apollo Lake SoC with an IT8987 is not exactly a rare combination --- Clevo W515PU uses that, for example.
Anyone else have guesses on what the OEM/ODM for this was? The APL09_MB_V10 identifier makes me lean towards LCFC/Compal, but the complete lack of component designators is odd, and Compal mobos are usually blue. Quanta and Wistron tend to go for green mobos, from what I've seen. Can't rule out Pegatron either.
