What is eltBootPasswordString?
This object stores the password string, up to 16 bytes, required to access the switch's boot-menu before the operating firmware loads. An administrator sets it to prevent unauthorized users with physical or console access from interrupting the boot process and altering low-level boot settings. Configuring it to a value like "BootLock2024" would require anyone dropping into the boot menu at startup to enter that password first.
