Security Menu
The Security Menu can be used to set a user password and/or an administrator password.
A User Password controls access to the system and Setup Utility program at boot up. If the User Password feature has been enabled, you need to enter your User password correctly whenever you boot the system before you can use it.
An Administrator Password controls access to the BIOS and Setup Utility program. If the Administrator Password feature has been enabled, an Administrator password must be entered correctly before all options in the Setup Utility program are available (for example, to disable password protection).
The Unattended Start feature allows the system to boot up and run but the keyboard and mouse are both locked. You must enter the User Password to use the keyboard and mouse.
Press the right arrow (cursor) key to move to the Power Menu.
