Steamcmd to automate installation
Hi there.
My usecase is somehow special:
I administrate 8 pcs (linux) in a youthcentre and wrote a tiny little script which automates my whole install-routine.

The part that starts steamcmd to install a set of games worked some months before, now i get errors because of a parental lock and because of wrong OS. This didnt happen last time i used steamcmd (half year before).

Are there any commands to unlock the parental lock from steamcmd and to install windows games for proton again from within steamcmd?

I can't really seem to find anything that would unlock the parental pin.
but i did come up with an idea, it might be tedious and probably not a fun solution but i'll let you decide on your own.

so basically the parental unlock is request made, so one can lock and unlock it making a post request.

what could then be done is, use a wrapper like node-steam-user to sign in. then use node-steam-parental (or just make the request yourself from within node-steam-user).

1. sign in with node-steam-user and unlock
2. sign in with steamcmd do whatever needs to be done.
3. sign in with node-steam-user and lock

maybe steamcmd has an argument to unlock the parental pin but i can't seem to find.
