So I personally think the first 'warning' is pointless. If they're not using a valid name the call will fail, and they're not going to use an invalid name deliberately.
I would put the authentication warning if the set fails as a possible reason it fails. But it would be much better to probe the interface to confirm if admin password is set and to print this message if it's required. Blindly printing it everytime is just annoying.
Consider adding a flag to skip the continue check - adding this will make scripting thinklmi harder.

Removed the first warning.
Probing and printing the warning only if the password is set, will take it as an improvement for the next release.
Removed the Y/N check for setting the setting. Retained for the TPM type change

Your indentation in the above looks wonky - check your editor settings.

As above - consider adding a nocheck option to bypass the continue check for easier scripting
