HPQPswd.TXT

HPQ Password Utility is an application which allows the user (typically a
system administrator) to create an encrypted password file which can be used
with the /p option of the HPQFlash application.  This option is usually
used along with the /s option to perform a silent mode update of the system
BIOS on Hewlett-Packard computers which have a BIOS Setup password set.


Usage:

    1. Run the HPQPswd.exe executable and enter the information requested:
       a. Setup password of target machines
       b. Location of encrypted password file to be created
       c. Please save the password file as a ".bin" extension.

    2. Click on OK.

    3. The entered password will be encrypted and stored in the specified location.
