Abstract
A device may periodically update a BIOS password on a client device. In some implementations, the device may determine a particular password generation algorithm; determine password generation seed values; and generate a first password and one or more second passwords based on the particular password generation algorithm and the password generation seed values. The first password may be a password that should be set for the BIOS. The one or more second passwords may be possible current passwords currently set. The device may individually output the one or more second passwords to the client device to cause the client device to update a password of the BIOS to update to the first password; receive an indication that the BIOS password has been updated to the first password; and output the indication that the BIOS password has been updated to the first password.
