Configuring password protection in BIOS Setup

	!	Before using the various options of password protection for your data security in the BIOS
	!	Setup, please note the following hints:
		Setup, please note the following hints:

● Please keep in mind your passwords in any case, as you will not be able to access your BIOS Setup and/or your system any longer, if you forget both the user password and the supervisor password.

The loss of passwords is not a warranty case and is therefore subject to charge. ● Back up your data on external data carriers at regular intervals.

i	Passwords can be up to eight characters long. You can use all alphanumeric characters
	and need not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters.

Password protection for BIOS Setup (supervisor and user password)

We recommend that you print out the following instructions, as these cannot be displayed while setting the password.

You prevent unauthorised opening of the BIOS Setup with both the supervisor and the user password. With the supervisor password you have access to all functions of the BIOS Setup, and with the user password only to part of the functions. You can only set a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.

i	Please refer to section "Settings in BIOS Setup" for a description of calling and operating
	the BIOS Setup.
