Using passwords
Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. Setting these
passwords creates several different levels of protection for your computer
and data:
Supervisor Password prevents unauthorized entry into the BIOS utility. Once
set, you must enter this password to gain access to the BIOS utility. See "BIOS
utility" on page 33.
User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use. Combine the
use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-up and resume from
Hibernation for maximum security.
Password on Boot secures your computer against unauthorized use. Combine
the use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-up and resume
from Hibernation for maximum security.
Important! Do not forget your Supervisor Password! If you forget
your password, please get in touch with your dealer or an
authorized service center.
Entering passwords
When a password is set, a password prompt appears in the center of the
display screen.
When the Supervisor Password is set, a prompt appears when you press <F2>
to enter the BIOS utility at boot-up.
Type the Supervisor Password and press <Enter> to access the BIOS utility. If
you enter the password incorrectly, a warning message appears. Try again and
press <Enter>.
When the User Password is set and the password on boot parameter is
enabled, a prompt appears at boot-up.
Type the User Password and press <Enter> to use the computer. If you enter
the password incorrectly, a warning message appears. Try again and press
<Enter>.
Important! You have three chances to enter a password. If you
fail to enter the password correctly after three tries, the system
halts. Press and hold the power button for four seconds to shut
down the computer. Then turn on the computer again, and try
again.
