cctk V4.4.0 for ubuntu Dell Command | Configure application COMPLETELY FAILS

I installed the Dell Command | Configure application under the advice of this answer to enhance my dell 2-in-1's battery performance.

I downloaded the package that corresponds to my system (I'm using Pop-os 20.04 64 bit, which is based on ubuntu 20.04, so I downloaded the "Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 (64-bit)" and installed it.

However, while dell did supply an install package, the application does not seem to work at all:

• Trying to turn on the `--AdvBatteryChargeCfg` option to enable advanced battery charged mode:

sesame@pop-os:~$ sudo /opt/dell/dcc/cctk --AdvBatteryChargeCfg=Enabled                        
Setup Password is required to change the setting. Use --ValSetupPwd to provide password.

okay, let's try set up a password:

sesame@pop-os:~$ sudo cctk --SetupPwd=Abc123 --ValSetuppwd= 
Password not changed, new password does not meet criteria.​

fine, let's remove password altogether:

sesame@pop-os:~$ sudo cctk --SetupPwd= --ValSetupPwd= 
Password is cleared successfully.​

okay, since password is not set at all, let's try with an empty space:

sesame@pop-os:~$ sudo cctk --AdvBatteryChargeCfg=Enabled --ValSetuppwd= 
The setup password provided is incorrect. Please try again.​

Looks like I cannot get anything done at all. Okay let's try some other settings

sesame@pop-os:~$ sudo cctk --fastboot
The option 'Fastboot' is not available or cannot be configured through this tool.

oops, okay. What about the read-only options? Maybe I can at least get some info about my machine:

sesame@pop-os:~$ sudo cctk --firstpowerondate
FirstPowerOnDate=yyyymmdd

My question is: why even create an application if you cannot even make it work? This is extremely infuriating.
