DESCRIPTION


The Unblock-Tpm cmdlet resets a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) lockout. TPM locks itself to prevent tampering or attack. This is called a lockout. To end a TPM lockout, you
must provide a valid owner authorization value. You can enter an owner authorization value or specify a file that contains the value. If you do not provide a value, the
cmdlet attempts to use a value stored in the registry.


For more information on TPM, see the Trusted Platform Module Technology Overview in the Technet library at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj131725.aspx.
