The setup password is now assigned and is Enabled.

NOTES: The setup password can be the same as the system password.

If the two passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate system password. However, the system password cannot be used in place of the setup password.

After you verify the password, the Setup Password setting changes to Enabled. The next time you enter the System Setup program, the system prompts you for the setup password.

A change to the Setup Password setting becomes effective immediately (rebooting the system is not required).

If Setup Password is set to Enabled, you must enter the correct setup password before you can modify the majority of the System Setup options.

When you start the System Setup program, the System Setup screen appears with the Setup Password setting highlighted, prompting you to type the password.

If you do not enter the correct password, the system lets you view, but not modify, the System Setup screen—with the following exceptions:

‡You can still modify the System Date, System Time, CPU Speed, Keyboard Num Lock, and PC Speaker options.

‡If System Password is not enabled and is not locked via the Password Status option, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or change an existing system password).

NOTE: You can use the Password Status setting in conjunction with the Setup Password feature to protect the system password from unauthorized changes. For more information, see “Password Status” found earlier in this chapter.
