BIOS system and setup passwords can be applied with the following attributes.
{ "Name": "OldSysPassword",
"Value": "oldpassword",
"Set On Import": "True",
"Comment": "Read and Write" },
{ "Name": "NewSysPassword",
"Value": "newpassword",
"Set On Import": "True",
"Comment": "Read and Write" },
{ "Name": "OldSetupPassword",
"Value": "oldpassword",
"Set On Import": "True",
"Comment": "Read and Write" },
{ "Name": "NewSetupPassword",
"Value": "newpassword",
"Set On Import": "True",
"Comment": "Read and Write" },
Each password requires the old password and the new password. The old password is validated; if validation is successful, the new password is applied.
Note: Passwords in SCP templates are commented out by default and populated with ****** as their value.
