These settings are configured by using the ThinkPad Setup
menu. In general, this is done manually by the user. However, from a
deployment point of view, the ThinkPad Setup settings are expected to be
common to all machines and to be controlled remotely.
This software is a DOS application for this purpose.
Features:
- Copy UEFI BIOS setup data settings
- Copy UEFI BIOS secure data settings
- Install and update for power-on password
- Install for hard disk password
- Copy supervisor password.
To use this software, a bootable and read/write-able media (floppy disk, USB
memory, CD-RW, etc.) with DOS or Windows 95/98 boot disk installed, and also
a device for the media (floppy disk drive, USB port, CD-RW drive, etc.) are
necessary.
If this software has been used, updating this software will fix problems, add
new functions, or expand functions as noted below.
This program is language independent and can be used with any language system.

HOW TO USE THE SOFTWARE
Note:
- If your computer runs satisfactorily now, it may not be necessary to update
the software. To determine if you should update the software, refer to the
Version Information section.
- A bootable and read/write-able media (floppy disk, USB memory, CD-RW, etc.)
with DOS or Windows 95/98 boot disk installed, and also a device for the media
(floppy disk drive, USB port, CD-RW drive, etc.) are necessary.
---------------------------------
Capturing ThinkPad Setup Settings
Do the following procedures at a donor ThinkPad:
(Setting up a donor ThinkPad)
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Turn on the computer.
3. While the following messages is displayed at the lower-left area of the
screen, press the F1 key.
To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button
The ThinkPad Setup menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears,
type the correct password.
4. Change and save the desired settings as required.
5. Exit from the ThinkPad Setup and restart the computer.
6. Ensure that the donor ThinkPad starts up and functions properly.
(Starting capture)
7. Copy SRSETUP.EXE into a bootable and read/write-able media with DOS or
Windows 95/98 boot disk installed.
8. Insert the media in its device, then power on and boot the computer with
the media.
9. At the command line, execute SRSETUP.EXE with the /c option.
Example: SRSETUP.EXE pathfile_name /c
Where pathfile_name is the path and file name of ThinkPad Setup Settings
file to be created.
(Capture options)
[Secure data and Supervisor password]
SRSETUP can capture UEFI BIOS secure data that includes a supervisor
password. The captured data has an encrypted supervisor password of the
donor ThinkPad. To capture the supervisor password, add the /kpap option to
enter the password by the keyboard.
Example: SRSETUP.EXE pathfile_name /c /kpap
[UIA (User Information Area) Data]
To save UIA data, add the /UIA option.
Example: SRSETUP.EXE pathfile_name /c /UIA
You have no need to use the /UIA option at the target ThinkPad computers.
[Power-on password and Hard disk password]
SRSETUP can deploy power-on password and hard disk password. To set the
power-on password and hard disk password at the target ThinkPad computers,
create a password.txt file (any name), add the /EP password.txt options.
Example: SRSETUP.EXE pathfile_name /c /EP password.txt
Where password.txt contains the names of UEFI BIOS settings files for each
of target ThinkPad computers, the power-on password and the hard disk
password. "Sample.txt" shows the format of .csv file.
If the supervisor password is set on a donor ThinkPad, add the /kpap option
to enter the password by the keyboard.
Example: SRSETUP.EXE pathfile_name /c /kpap /EP password.txt
In this case, the ThinkPad Setup Settings file contains a supervisor
password.
WARNING:
This process creates an intermediate file that contains the power-on
password, hard disk password and a pointer to the system that these
passwords are intended to be installed on. Be sure to treat this
intermediate file as a potential security exposure that exists until the
reset process is complete. Be sure to transmit the file securely to the
target system and to destroy the file when finished. Examples of secure
transmission include carrying the file on removable media to the target
system or encrypting the file before transmission over the network to the
target system.
------------------------------------
Playing Back ThinkPad Setup Settings
Do the following procedures at a target ThinkPad:
(Starting playback)
1. Copy the ThinkPad Setup Settings file in the step 9 of the "Capturing
ThinkPad Setup Settings" section into the media in the step 7, as well.
2. Insert the media in its device, then power on and boot the computer with
the media.
3. At the command line, execute SRSETUP.EXE with the /u option.
Example: SRSETUP.EXE pathfile_name /u
Where pathfile_name is the path and file name of ThinkPad Setup Settings
file.
4. The computer restarts automatically. After restart, the computer will shut
down automatically at ThinkPad logo screen.
(Notes)
[Secure data and Supervisor password]
If the target computer already has a supervisor password, add the /kpap
option to enter the supervisor password by keyboard:
Example: SRSETUP.EXE pathfile_name /u /kpap
[Power-on password and Hard disk password]
If the target computer already has a power-on password and/or a hard disk
password, you can not set the passwords by SRSETUP. You must remove the
passwords by ThinkPad Setup Utility at the target computer.
