this field to set it. This option allows you to set

 

your system’s Service Tag.

 

The Service Tag is a unique, 7-digit, alpha-numeric

 

system identifier assigned to your computer. The

 

Service Tag allows support to identify the type of

 

system you have in order to provide you with the

 

best possible support.

 

You will not be able to set an Admin or Primary

 

password until you set the Service Tag. The

 

Service Tag can be found on a bar-coded label

 

on the bottom of your system. This label also

 

includes the Express Service Code.

 

The first character of the tag can be a number or

 

any letter from A-Z. The remaining characters can

 

be a number or any letter from A-Z except for the

 

vowels (A, E, I, O, and U).
