Supervisor Password Is, User Password Is

Supervisor Password Is

This category displays whether the supervisor password is disabled or enabled. When Enabled is displayed, the supervisor password has already been set and is required in order to have full access (see Table 4-2) to the System Setup program. The default is Disabled.

User Password Is

This category displays whether the user password is dis- abled or enabled. When Enabled is displayed, the user password has already been set and is required at start up. Unlike the supervisor password, the user password does not allow you full access (see Table 4-2) to the System Setup program. The default is Disabled.

Set Supervisor Password

The Set Supervisor Password category lets you restrict access to your computer’s System Setup program in the same way that you restrict access to your system with the user password feature.

NOTE: Read “Using the Supervisor Password Feature” later in this chapter for detailed instructions on assigning a supervisor password and using, deleting, or changing an existing supervisor password. See “Disabling a For- gotten Password” found later in this chapter for information on disabling a forgotten supervisor password.

Set User Password

NOTE: You cannot set the user password until a supervi- sor password is set.

The Set User Password category lets you restrict access to your system by setting a user password that is required when the Password On Boot category is set to Enabled.

NOTE: Read “Using the User Password Feature” later in this chapter for detailed instructions on assigning a user password and using, deleting, or changing an existing user password.
