I've read that the Eeprom magically gets unlocked after the machine has been woken up from sleep. Here is the resulting result.rar file if it's still relevant. The machine is an Acer E5-572G-51TG which came with a i5-4210M and 768p screen but has been updated to a 4700MQ and 1080p screen. BIOS version is 1.02, I'm refusing to update if there's no way to downgrade again. I've learned that lesson with my previous laptop.
The universal bios backup tool didn't want to work because it doesn't understand the bios, but the read button was available after setting a custom size. If you let me know which size I should set I can get you the results of that too.
All BIOSes are available at Acer's support site. Since I can't seem to link to them if anyone's ever looking for them just go to the support site and type E5-572G in the "Search by Product Model" box.
