I try to configure the BIOS password from a batch script run in Windows PE, booted from USB stick. But after running the skript, I/m still able to enter the BIOS setup without a password. I already checked the HP instructions and Googled the issue but nothing works. This would be the part of script related to the issue:
START "" "X:\Windows\BIOSUtility\HpqPswd64.exe" /s /p"12345678" /f"C:\password.bin"
START "" "X:\Windows\BIOSUtility\BiosConfigUtility64.exe" /cspwdfile:"C:\password.bin"
Version of HP BCU is: 4.0.21.1 X: Is the drive of Windows PE from the USB Stick. HP BCU works since earlier in the script I can pass the BIOS configuration with: START "" "X:\Windows\BIOSUtility\BiosConfigUtility64.exe" /setConfig:BIOSConfigHPEliteDesk800G1.txt
Thank you for any help.
According to the User Guide for HPs BIOS Config Tool the /cspwdfile switch
is for providing the current password if one is already set and changes should be made. To set a new password you need /nspwdfile (or /NewSetupPasswordFile or /npwdfile)
