Samsung HTQ45, Q46 manual Setting a User Password, Deactivating the Password

Setting a User Password

Users can start the system with a user password, but cannot enter the System Setup. By doing this, you can prevent other users from entering Setup.

Before configuring a user password, a supervisor password must have been configured. Deactivating the supervisor password also deactivates the user password.

In the Set User Password item, press <Enter> and complete the procedures from Step 3 of Setting a Supervisor Password.

Changing the hard disk drive password

If you cannot change the hard disk drive password or the HDD Password Frozen message appears when entering the BIOS Setup and then selecting Security > HDD 0 Password, press the Power button to turn the computer on again.

Deactivating the Password

1 Press <Enter> on the password to be deactivated. For example, to deactivate a supervisor password in the Set Supervisor Password item, press <Enter>.

2 In the Enter Current Password item, enter the currently configured password and press <Enter>.

3 Leave the Enter New Password item field empty, and press <Enter>.

4 Leave the Confirm New Password field empty, and press <Enter>.
