old_password, new_password
The maximum length of the password is
seven characters. The password cannot have
characters other than alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z,
0-9) and is case insensitive. Use two double
quotes ("") to represent a null password.
Sets or clears the BIOS User password. You must enter the old password, if set, or the null string if
the User password is currently not set, before entering the new password. Enter a null string for the
new password to clear the password. The User password controls access to modify the following
BIOS Setup fields: time, date, language, and User password. If only one password (Administrator
or User) is set, then this password is required to enter Setup. If you set or change the BIOS User
password, you cannot change any other BIOS option using syscfg except the BIOS User and
Administrator passwords.
Refer to the Product Guide for your Intel Server Board for more information on BIOS Setup
options.
Examples:
syscfg /bup "" kwm93a3
syscfg /bup kwm93a9 lqts284
syscfg /bup lqts284 ""
syscfg /bap "" lqts284 /bup "" kwm93a3
NOTE
The /bup option can only be used if system has a valid Administrator
password set. Clearing the Administrator password will also clear the User
password.
