First of, thanks for all the time you put into these scripts :)

On your website, https://www.configjon.com/lenovo-bios-password-management/, you describe some problems with clearing the Power On password.

From the Lenovo Documentation regarding removing af Power On password:

To remove the power-on password when a supervisor password is set, it must be done in three steps total:
a. Change the supervisor password. It’s OK to specify the same password as both the current and the
new, in case you don’t really want to change it. But you must do this step.
b. Change the power-on password by specifying the current password and a NULL string as the new
password
c. Reboot the system (do not reboot between steps A and B).

Looking at the Clear-LenovoBiosPassword function it doesn't seem like you are doing the Superviser part (A)? Perhaps that would fix "the Power On Password Issue" described on the webpage?

I haven't been able to find it elsewhere in the script (Perhaps I'm semi blind, and then sorry for troubling you).
