If you have not assigned BIOS passwords yet, define the supervisor and the user password now, if desired (see "Security functions", Page 54).
►Mark the Hard Disk Security field and press the Enter key.
►In the Drive0 area mark the Set Master Password field and press the Enter key.
Enter new Password then appears and you are asked to enter a password. ► Enter the password and press the Enter key.
