BiosConfigUtility : Password is set, but password provided is invalid

[GGUI21]

Hello everybody,

I am having some troubles using the HP BiosConfigUtility (4.0.32.1) since one week.

I'm using a password.bin file to set the BIOS password in my compagny. This process is working well.

But when i'm using this same password.bin to modify some BIOS parameters with BiosConfigUtility, i always have this error :

<BIOSCONFIG Version="" Computername="XXX Date="2021/12/14" Time="16:10:25" UTC="1">
SPM: Not Provisioned.
BEAM mode: Disabled.
<SUCCESS msg="Successfully read password from file" />
<ERROR msg="Unable to process command. Password is set, but password provided is invalid" />
<ERROR msg="BCU return value" real="10" translated="10" />
</BIOSCONFIG>

I'm sure that password.bin file is good, and represent the good BIOS password.

I'have tried to regenerate the password with both 32 and 64bits versions of HPQPswd and tried to use the 32 or 64bits versions of BiosConfigUtility : still the same results.

I don't understand what's going on : on the same PC sometimes it works, sometimes doesn't !

 Thank a lot for your time.
