Configuring password protection in BIOS Setup Utility

Before using the various options for password protection in the BIOS Setup utility to increase data security, please observe the following:

Make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe place. If you forget your supervisor password you will not be able to access your notebook. Passwords are not covered by your warranty and a charge will be made for assistance.

Your password can be up to eight characters long and contain letters and numbers. No distinction is made between uppercase and lowercase.

Protecting BIOS Setup Utility (supervisor and user password)

If you have opened these operating instructions on the screen, we recommend that you print out the following instructions. Because you cannot call the instructions onto the screen while you are setting up the password.

You prevent unauthorised use of the BIOS Setup Utility with both the supervisor and the user password. The supervisor password gives you access to all functions of the BIOS Setup Utility, while the user password only provides some of the functions. You can only set a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.

Please refer to the "Settings in BIOS Setup Utility", Page 57 section for a description of how to call up and operate the BIOS Setup Utility.

Setting supervisor and user password

►Start the BIOS Setup Utility and go to the Security menu.

►Select the Set Supervisor Password field and press the Enter key.

With Enter new Password: you are asked to enter a password. ► Enter the password and press the Enter key.

Confirm new Password requires you to confirm the password. ► Enter the password again and press the Enter key.

Changes have been saved is a confirmation that the new password has been saved.

►To set the user password, select Set User Password and proceed exactly as when configuring the supervisor password.

If you do not want to change any other settings, you can exit BIOS Setup Utility. ► In the Exit menu, select the option Save Changes & Exit.

► Select Yes and press the Enter key.

The notebook will be rebooted and the new password will come into effect. It will now be necessary to first enter your supervisor or user password in order to open the BIOS Setup Utility. Please note that the user password only provides access to a few of the BIOS settings.
