Power-On Password

Setting a Power-On Access password helps protect information stored in your system unit. If a Power-On Access password is set for your system unit, the Power-On Access status icon is shown in the locked position. If a Power-On Access password is not set, then the Power-On Access status icon is shown in the unlocked position (as shown in the screen above).

When you select the Set icon, a screen with eight empty boxes displays. Type your password in these boxes. You can use any combination of up to eight characters (A±Z, a±z, and 0±9) for your password. As you type a character, a key displays in the box.
