Securely set Dell BiosPassword from an encrypted file.
Hi,
Is is possible to securely set the Bios Password by using a powershell variable that is in securestring? It is possible to use a securestring password to change a setting but is it also possible to set the initial password? this way i don't need clear text password in my script but i can just copy an encrypted file to the system that contains the password.
Regards

Hi DJITS,
Which system are you using? Dell command powershell provider might help. https://dell.to/3oJS9Xw
https://dell.to/2LUTIDD Page 21
I don’t see any encrypted options.

Hi Josh,
Yes i am using Dell Powershell Provider 2.4 (latest). Should it work with that?

Hi Marco,
The information in page 21 is to basic for me and does not provide an example. I read somewhere I could use $Adminpwd as a variable so I tried that but then the password became $Adminpwd so it seems the command can't handle a variable.
Could you please provide me an example?
Would be much appreciated.
Regards,

It contains some examples and screenshots. I hope this is the information you need. If not, please explain us what exactly information do you need.
