latitude E5420 cctk set harddisk password
I have issue while using cctk coomand line to set hard disk password(hddpwd). After run this command, it display successfully. But while I login BIOS to check, the harddisk password not set successfully.
I tried to manual set harddisk password, it successfully.(But I notice one thing, while I manual set harddisk password from BIOS, it will have one prompt window to ask me whether need enable security erase function, it is the reason why I am not able to use cctk command to set harddisk password?)
We are using CCTK 2.2.1 on windows 7 64 bit system.(tried different version BIOS, same issue. And tried through cctk to set other BIOS parameter, worked well, only set harddisk password have issue)
Command:
CCTK --hddpwd=xxxxxx
Welcome any suggestion or idea about it.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Keerthan,
Thanks for your useful information. But after I setting hdd password through CCTK command, then I reboot computer, it require to choose modify or ignore, if select modify, then the hdd password will take effect, but if I select ignore, the hdd password will not take effect.
It is possible to bypass this process?(no need to choose modify or ignore, but directly take hdd password effect?)
As I worried if I through script to apply this command, but user not choose modify option, then set hdd password will failed and I even don't know whose computer applied hdd password, whose computer don't
Thanks

Hi,
Bypassing the process is not posssible and currently to set the hdd password using CCTK we need to select the Modify option after rebooting.
Thanks,

Hi,
Next release of CCTK is 3.0, in this release also we are not implementing bypassing process, but sure we can think of this for any upcoming releases based on demand.
Thanks,
