System and Setup Password Features

NOTE: For a forgotten password, see "Disabling a Forgotten Password" on page 132.

Your system is shipped without the system password feature enabled. Operate the system only with system password protection.

CAUTION: The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your system.

CAUTION: Anyone can access the data stored on your system if the system is running and unattended.

Using the System Password

When a system password is assigned, the system prompts for the system password after the system starts and only those with the password have full use of the system.

Assigning a System Password

Before assigning a system password, enter the System Setup program and check the System Password option.
