Using passwords

Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a password, write down the password and store it in a secure location away from the computer. Note the following password considerations:

Setup and power-on passwords are set in Computer Setup and are managed by the system BIOS.

Windows passwords are set only in the Windows operating system.

If you forget the setup password set in Computer Setup, you will not be able to access the utility.

If you have the stringent security feature enabled in Computer Setup and you forget the setup password or the power-on password, the computer is inaccessible and can no longer be used.

If you forget both the power-on password and the setup password set in Computer Setup, you cannot turn on the computer.

You can use the same password for a Computer Setup feature and for a Windows security feature. You can also use the same password for more than one Computer Setup feature.
