How to remotely check BIOS password from Windows 7?

Question

System administration

It is necessary to remotely check whether the user (stationary PC with win 7) has a BIOS password, no matter what the password is, the main thing is whether it is or not.

Answer 1

To do this, the PC must be connected via IP-KVM.
The cost of IP-KVM is comparable to the cost of a PC.
There are desktop motherboards with IPMI, but they are very expensive and very rare.

Answer 2

it's best to ask the user
otherwise - try using CmosPwd or do something based on Dell scripts

Answer 3

Make a video call to a remote PC user and ask to see if there is a bios password. Nothing else in particular.

Answer 4

With some meager chances, you can make a copy of the BIOS and look in the dump (you won’t find out the password yourself), google - remove the BIOS dump password by adding the motherboard and BIOS version.
Not all motherboard manufacturers provide a utility for working with bios dumps under windows (require dos)

Answer 5

Yes, no extras

Answer 6

There is something here. HP BIOS Password Management
Worked correctly on my HP. But there is a typo from the author (in the variable name), it should be like this:

#Connect to the HP_BIOSSetting WMI class
$HPBiosSettings = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root/hp/InstrumentedBIOS -Class HP_BIOSSetting
 
#Check the status of the setup password
($HPBiosSettings | Where-Object Name -eq "Setup Password").IsSet
 
#Check the status of the power-On password
($HPBiosSettings | Where-Object Name -eq "Power-On Password").IsSet
