</BIOSCONFIG>

This issue was detected using Biosconfig.exe utility to modify BIOS Value and to activate TPM  on the specified model.

Possible cause: The right BIOS password was not used to access and modify BIOS Values.
Verifying...

Solution:

BIOS password needs to be set.

This can be done by adding the two commands: 

 

biosconfigutility.exe /nspwd:xxxxx 

biosconfigutility.exe /cspwd:xxxxx /setconfig:test.txt
