I was getting errors running 'macosLAPS version' and 'macosLAPS resetPassword'

Tried setting DaysTillExpiration using '-int'

defaults write /Library/Preferences/edu.psu.macoslaps.plist DaysTillExpiration -int 30

as suggested in #5 but had the same behavior. Then tried setting PasswordLength also using '-int'

defaults write /Library/Preferences/edu.psu.macoslaps.plist PasswordLength -int 14

after which it worked

So you would need to specify the following keys in a config profile or the preferences file to ensure that the password change can happen:

Let me know if this helps!
