Chapter 8 - Using System Security

	This section describes the security options provided with your computer.
System Passwords	The computer provides two levels of password security: administrative-level
	(supervisor) and user-level (user). Either password prevents unauthorized access
	to the computer. The supervisor password enables full access to all System Setup
	fields. The user password enables full access to only the Set User Password and
	Password on boot security fields and read access to all other System Setup
	fields. (See ”Security Menu” on page 83 for a complete list of System Setup
	security fields.)
	If multiple users have access to the computer (such as in a network environment),
	a supervisor password can prevent unauthorized access to certain security
	options.
	Choose the type of password security that is appropriate for your work. If you want
	to set a user password, you must set a supervisor password first.
Creating a Password	To create a password:
	1.	At startup, press [F2] to open System Setup.
	2.	Use the [Right Arrow] key to select the Security menu.
	3.	Use the [Down Arrow] key to select Set Supervisor Password or Set User
		Password. Press [Enter]. The Set Password dialog box will appear.
	4.	Type a password of up to seven characters. You can enter letters or numbers,
		but you cannot use the function keys, such as [Shift]. Your computer does not
		distinguish between capitalized and lowercase letters in your password. As
		you type the password, the cursor moves but your password does not appear
		on the screen.
	5.	Press [Enter] after you have typed your password. The computer prompts you
		to reenter your password for verification.
	6.	Type your password again and press [Enter]. A message appears telling you
		that the changes have been saved. Press [Enter] again to return to the
		Security menu.
	7.	Press [Esc] to go to the Exit menu.
	8.	Select Exit Saving Changes, press [Enter], and press [Enter] again to restart
		the computer.
