●It can include any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.

Managing a setup password

A setup password is set, changed, and deleted in Computer Setup.

1.Open Computer Setup by turning on or restarting the computer, and then pressing f10 while the “F10 = ROM Based Setup” message is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.

2.Use the arrow keys to select Security > Setup password, and then press enter.

●To set a setup password, type your password in the New password and Verify new password fields, and then press f10.

●To change a setup password, type your current password in the Old password field, type a new password in the New password and Verify new password fields, and then press f10.

●To delete a setup password, type your current password in the Old password field, and then press f10.

3.To save your preferences, use the arrow keys to select File > Save changes and exit. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

Your preferences go into effect when the computer restarts.

Entering a setup password

At the Setup password prompt, type your setup password (using the same kind of keys you used to set the password), and then press enter. After 3 unsuccessful attempts to enter the setup password, you must restart the computer and try again.

Using a power-on password

The Computer Setup power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the computer. After this password is set, it must be entered each time the computer is turned on.

Note the following characteristics of a power-on password:

●It is masked as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.

●It must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a power-on password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if you enter it thereafter with embedded numeric keypad number keys.
