Passwords

The following section provides information about computer hardware and software-related passwords.

vPower-on Password

vAdministrator Password

vOperating System Password

Power-on and Administrator passwords are set in the Setup Utility program. See “Setup Utility program” on page 10 for information about running the Setup Utility.

Power-on password

A power-on password denies access to the computer by an unauthorized user when the computer is powered on. When a power-on password is active, the password prompt appears on the screen each time the computer is powered on. The computer starts after the proper password is entered.

Removing a power-on password

To service a computer with an active and unknown power-on password, power-off the computer and use the following procedure.

Note: This also erases the date and time.

Note: On some models, this procedure will also remove the administrator password.

1.Unplug the power cord and remove the top cover.

2.Refer to “Identifying parts on the system board - small desktop model” on page 27 to find the Virtual clear CMOS/BIOS recovery jumper.
