Change "Password protected setup" Password

[Kanigato 0]

Hi, we have a small problem: we need to change password for "Password protected setup" . I tried to change password in original policy that it was created for, waited for 6 hours - no effect, only old password works. I created a new policy, with new password - only old password works. Its like it is  cached somewhere on a client machine. Any advice how to change password without reinstalling every single machine in our company?

Please make sure that the policy with the changed password is actually applied. I'd enforce this setting to ensure that it's not overridden by another policy:

And also, the previous pplicy should not have the “force” flag set, as it prevents other policies from overwriting it.

Thanks guys, it seems problem solved now. Hard to say what actually helped, but thats what i did: delete old policy, created and enforced new policy, went home for the weekend. Monday morning its working Probably it needs a few hours to accept changes. Anyway, thanks for help.
