Is this functionality not effective?

Hello, I attempted to configure a hashed password in the DHCP parameter 18 extensions-path option. However, regardless of the efforts, it seems possible to access the setup (press DEL for setup) without entering the password. Is this functionality not effective for Raspberry Pi?

DHCP 018 functionality is effective for network boot.

While booting locally WTware waits for "Press DEL to enter Setup". In Setup you may choose WiFi or Ethernet, local IP or DHCP and so on. Network card driver starts after Setup (or when "Press DEL to enter Setup" is hidden).

Only password from local setup (or from SD wizard) is effective for local boot.
