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￿50￿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.
