Change password on MDT Boot images

[jimmy_2k]

Hi all does anyone know how to change the password on MDT/SCCM boot images. E.g. the password which comes up at the start of the Microsoft deployment toolkit task sequence Wizard page? I tried to update our Boot image, that didn't work so I reloaded the original one, although it boots and appears to be working. The password which we set 3 years ago is now saying its incorrect!

 

Not having much luck updating our Windows image at the moment!

Is it in the answer file?

Could this be the credentials to access the deployment share? From memory that is in the bootstrap.ini file.

Not sure if this is what you're after, but in SCCM if you have a password set for PXE it is here:

 

Configuration Manager Console > Administration > Site Configuration > Servers and Site System Roles > Distribution Point properties > PXE > Require a password when computers use PXE

 

This is the password that is used in the task sequence wizard >

Thanks all, I tried about 3 passwords until the simplest lowercase password worked!
