This field lets you set, change, or delete the administrator (admin) password (sometimes called the "setup" password). The admin

 

password enables several security features when set including:

 

 

Restricts changes to the settings in Setup

 

 

Restricts the boot devices listed in the <F12> Boot Menu to those enabled in the "Boot Sequence" field.

 

 

Prohibits changes to the owner and asset tags.

Admin Password

 

Substitutes for the system password if the system prompts for a password during power on.

 

 

 

Successful changes to this password take effect immediately.

NOTE: If you delete the admin password, the system password is also deleted. Also, the admin password can be used to delete the HDD password. For this reason, you cannot set an admin password if a system password or HDD is already set. The admin password must be set first if used in conjunction with a system and/or HDD password.
