User Password

When a User Password is set, the user is prompted to type a valid password each time the computer is turned on. The computer cannot be used until a valid password is typed from the keyboard.

Administrator Password

Setting an Administrator Password deters unauthorized persons from changing configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several computers, you might want to set an Administrator Password.

After you set an Administrator Password, a password prompt is displayed each time you try to access the Setup Utility program.

If both the user and administrator passwords are set, you can type either password. However, to change any configuration settings, you must use your administrator password.

Setting, changing, and deleting a password

To set, change, or delete a password, do the following:

Note: A password can be any combination of up to twelve characters (A- Z, a-z, and 0-9). See “Password considerations” on page 49 for more information.

1.Start the Setup Utility program (see Chapter 5, “Using the Setup Utility,” on page 49).

2.From the Setup Utility program menu, select Security.

3.Select Set Passwords. Read the information displayed on the right side of the screen.

Selecting a startup device

If your computer does not start up (boot) from a device such as the CD-ROM, diskette, or hard disk as expected, use one of the following procedures to select a startup device.

Selecting a temporary startup device

Use this procedure to startup from any boot device.

Note: Not all CDs, hard disks, and diskettes are startable (bootable).

1.Turn off your computer.

2.Press and hold the F12 key then turn on the computer. When the Startup Device Menu appears, release the F12 key.

Note: If you are using a USB keyboard and the Startup Device Menu does not display using this method, repeatedly press and release the F12 key rather than leaving it pressed when turning on the computer.

3.Select the desired startup device from the Startup Device Menu and press Enter to begin.
