System Passwords
The computer provides two levels of password security:
If multiple users have access to the computer (such as in a network environment), a supervisor password can prevent unauthorized access to certain security options.
If You Forget Your Password
It is very important that you do not forget your password. If you do, you cannot access your system. Write your password down and keep it in a safe place. If you do forget and cannot find the written note, you will have to contact the reseller of your computer and possibly take or send it in to them so that you can access the computer again.
