Using passwords

Passwords protect your computer from unauthorised access. Setting these passwords creates several different levels of protection for your computer and data:

•Supervisor Password prevents unauthorised entry into the BIOS Utility. Once set, you must enter this password to gain access to the BIOS Utility. See “BIOS Utility” on page 44.

•User Password secures your computer against unauthorised use. Combine the use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-up and resume from hibernation for maximum security.

•Password on Boot secures your computer against unauthorised use. Combine the use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-up and resume from hibernation for maximum security.
