Optiplex 3050, trying to update the BIOS via Dell Command Update but it errors with.. 'BIOS Update failed as password is not configured. Please configure the BIOS password in settings and retry.' I don't want to have to configure a BIOS password on this and the other 200+ machines so how do I get around this issue? Cheers
