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

‡You can still modify the Date, Time, CPU Speed, Num Lock, and 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 option in conjunction with Setup Pass- word to protect the system password from unauthorized changes. For more information, see “Password Status” found earlier in this chapter.
