Abstract:
An information handling system includes a basic input/output system that checks for a first-time password in NVRAM, and prompts a user for a password when the first-time password is present. A processor compares the password to the first-time password, deletes the first-time password from the NVRAM when the password matches the first-time password, and boots the information handling system when the password matches the first-time password.
