6.22 Password Protection

The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system. Once secure mode is entered, access to the system is allowed only after the correct password(s) has been entered. Both the user and administrator passwords are supported by the BIOS. The Administrator password must be set prior to setting the User password. The maximum length of the password is seven characters. The password can have only alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). The user and administrator passwords are not case sensitive.

Once set, a password can be cleared by changing it to a null string. Entering the user password allows the user to modify the time, date, language, user password, secure mode timer, and secure mode hot-key setup fields. Other setup fields can be modified only if the administrator password is entered. The user password also allows the system to boot if secure boot is enabled. If only one password is set, this password is required to enter Setup. The Administrator has control over all fields in the setup including the ability to clear the user password.

If the user enters three wrong passwords in a row during the boot sequence, the system will be placed into a halt state. This feature makes it difficult to break the password by “trial and error” method. When entering a password, the backspace key is accepted as a character of the password. Entering the backspace key will result in a wrong password. In addition, when entering a password, the numeric keys are not equal to the numeric keypad keys. For example, if the password contains a ‘0’ entered from the numeric keys, and the user enters ‘0’ from the numeric keypad, the result will be an incorrect password.

The Emergency Management Port password is only utilized by the BMC, this password does not effect the BIOS security in any way, nor does the BIOS security engine provide any validation services for this password. Emergency Management Port security is handled primarily through the BMC and Emergency Management Port utilities.
