  • Publication number: 20230315833
    Abstract: A method for managing passwords for a BIOS and a BMC is implemented by a computer including a processor, a BMC, a platform controller hub (PCH), a first non-volatile memory and a second non-volatile memory. The BMC stores a BMC password, the first non-volatile memory stores a BIOS password, and the second non-volatile memory stores a first string and a second string. The method includes steps of: upon receiving a command for changing the BIOS password, the processor changing the BIOS password via the PCH according to the command; the processor changing the second string via the PCH to be the same as the BIOS password; the processor rebooting the computer; the BMC changing the first string via the PCH to be the same as the second string; and the BMC changing the BMC password to be the same as the first string.
