Setting bios password through powershell

[joshnunez95]

Hello, I am trying to set my bios password through powershell as a test in order to deploy this for multiple computers in our organization.

My computer is a HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF

#Sets BIOS password
$passChange= Get-WMIObject -Namespace root\hp\instrumentedBIOS -Class HP_BIOSSettingInterface -ComputerName $env:computername
$passChange.SetBIOSSetting('Setup Password', '<utf-16/> + Password')

I am getting the following returned when I run it:

__GENUS : 2
__CLASS : __PARAMETERS
__SUPERCLASS :
__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 1
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
Return : 5
