Password Status

(Unlocked default)

Locked, the system password cannot be changed or

disabled at system start-up.

TPM Security

(Off default)

Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module

(TPM) in the system.
If Off, the presence of the TPM is not reported to the

operating system.
If On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system reports

the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-boot

measurements to the TPM during POST.
If On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system

reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses

pre-boot measurements.

TPM Activation

(No Change default)

When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled to default

settings. When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled.

The No Change state initiates no action. The operational

state of the TPM remains unchanged (all user settings for

the TPM are preserved).

NOTE:

This field is read-only when TPM Security is set to

Off.
