CCTK and bios admin password
I am trying to update the wake on lan setting for my laptops / desktops.
I have set the the cctk file up and it works fine on a macine without any security.
the problem i have is the 90% of our macines have an Admin Password set. We haven't set a system password but when ever i run the program i get the following error
2013/03/15 09:59:06 cctk - Setup Password is required to change the setting. Use --valsetuppwd to provide password.
CCTK STATUS CODE : FAILURE
I can't put a password in as we don't use one. I can't seem to find a command line tool that talks about the admin password.
thanks
Lee

Hi Lee,
It is possible to reset the Admin password (Setup password) using CCTK. Please refer to command Line Interface Reference Guide(Page 60) present in documentation page for more help.

Is it possible to retrieve a password that has been set, but is now unknown? I used the -i option with a specific password and it appeared to work, however when I attempt to access the BIOS, it does not accept the password stated in the INI file. I cannot get into the BIOS now.
