Using passwords

Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a password, write down the password and store it in a secure location away from the computer. Note the following password considerations:

Setup and power-on passwords are set in Computer Setup and are managed by the system BIOS.

Windows passwords are set only in the Windows operating system.

If you forget the setup password set in Computer Setup, you will not be able to access the utility.

If you have the stringent security feature enabled in Computer Setup and you forget the setup password or the power-on password, the computer is inaccessible and can no longer be used.

If you forget both the power-on password and the setup password set in Computer Setup, you cannot turn on the computer.

You can use the same password for a Computer Setup feature and for a Windows security feature. You can also use the same password for more than one Computer Setup feature.

Use the following tips for creating and saving passwords:

When creating passwords, follow requirements set by the program.

Write down your passwords and store them in a secure place away from the computer.

Do not store passwords in a file on the computer.

The following tables list commonly used passwords and describe their functions.

Using a setup password

The Computer Setup setup password protects the configuration settings and system identification information in Computer Setup. After this password is set, it must be entered to access Computer Setup and to make changes using Computer Setup.

Note the following characteristics of the setup password:

It is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator password, although both passwords can be identical.

It is not displayed as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.

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

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