Hi All- I'm a sysadmin looking to update the BIOS on a few dozen business desktops. I was looking through documentation and it appears in order to update the BIOS via command line, one needs to encrypt the bios password by using the HpqPswd.exe utility. I've ran it in GUI mode and enter the desired password twice and gave it a file name. It gives me an error message stating that it is an 'invalid filename'- I've tried upper, lower, longer filename lengths, with the .bin extension and without but it always gives this message and produces a file with a 0 byte file size. Can anyone advise? I've tried the HpqPswd and 64 bit versions of the utility, and ran the command line as administrator. Thanks!
