CCTK LCD Brightness,Password Change, Wake on LAN/WLAN
Hi,
Can CCTK change:
1. Security-->Password Change-->"Allow Non-Admin Password Changes"
2. Video--> LCD Brightness-->"Brightness On Battery" & "Brightness On AC"
3. Power Management-->Wake on LAN/WLAN-->
I don't see these BIOS options in the 2.2 Command Line Interface Reference Guide document.
I have a fairly large laptop deployment coming up (mostly Latitude), and the ability to change these settings would be great using a portable exe.
No Events found!

Hi User20,
CCTK can do many of the things being requested.
1. It is possible to change or clear password
Eg. CCTK --setuppwd= --valsetuppwd=
2. Wake on lan
Refer to the help provided in the command CCTK -h wakeonlan
Refer to www.dell.com/.../dell-clnt-config-toolkit-v2.2 for more info.

Hi Shrinidhi,
Firstly, thank you for the prompt reply. Here is a screenshot of the "Allow Non-Admin Password Changes" setting.
Here is the entry for --setuppwd in the 2.2 reference guide
Does --setuppwd apply to the "Allow Non-Admin Password Changes" checkbox setting ?
Thanks

Hi User20,
CCTK requires password for setting any value if Setup password has been set for consistency.

Hi Shrinidhi,
I'm aware that CCTK requires the BIOS setup password for changing settings. Since --setuppwd does not apply to the setting "Allow Non-Admin Password Changes", is there any other way CCTK can change this, or planned to add this feature in future release ?

Hello User20 - I know this is a very old and probably stale post, but I was wondering if you ever got an answer to the "Allow Non-Admin Password Changes" issue with CCTK. I'm in version 3.1.2 and am having the same issue.

I need this feature, too. It's now 2018 and I have the latest cctk and cannot find any way with cctk to set the "allow non-admin password changes" option in the BIOS.
