Your computer is a valuable investment that you need to take care of.

Learn how to protect and take care of your computer.

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.

• User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use.

Combine the use of this password with password checkpoints on

boot-up and resume from Hibernation (if available) 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 (if available) 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.

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

enter the BIOS utility.

• 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.
