HP Recommended

Hello,

 

I am attempting to set a BIOS password on my machines using the HPBIOSSettingInterface WMI Object.  My question is do newer models of HP PCs support using the SetBIOSSetting() method to set a BIOS password on a workstation?

 

When I attempt to use the method, it keeps returning code "5", meaning "invalid parameter"

 

Here is the code I am attempting to run in PowerShell

 

$BIOS = Get-WMIObject HP_BIOSSettingInterface -Namespace "root\HP\InstrumentedBIOS"

$BIOS.SetBIOSSetting('Setup Password','<utf-16/>TheBIOSPassword','')

 

Is the above able to be used by all HP workstations?

 

Thank you,

Daniel
