This can be done through WMI. I have the exact same issues, and found that you can look at this WMI class to find out if the SuperVisor password is set.

Get-WmiObject  -Class Lenovo_BiosPasswordSettings -Namespace "root\wmi"

If Password state is 0, it is not set, and if it is 2 it is set. (I have not been able to find any documentation on possible values, so there might be more)

You can only change password on machines that have had a password set manually, (To prevent malicious users from locking down, all your machines without knowing a password)

Have you look at the Win32_ComputerSystem class, in particular AdminPasswordStatus, KeyboardPasswordStatus, or PowerOnPasswordStatus? Do any of these give you what you are looking for?

Hi Thanks for your reply could you please help in answering my other 2 threads,
