Security Menu

Selecting Security from the menu bar displays the Security menu. Your computer’s advanced security system allows you to set two different passwords to prevent unauthorized access to system resources, data, and System Setup. From the Security menu, you can enable a boot password, disk access, a system backup reminder, and a virus check reminder.

Security fields marked with an asterisk (*) can only be changed if you start System Setup with a system supervisor password or if no passwords are in effect. You cannot access these fields with a user password.

Set User Password: Enables you to set a user password to control access to the system at boot. See ”Creating a Password” on page 74 for instructions on setting a password.The user password allows restricted access to the System Setup Security menu; the user has access only to changing his own password and to enabling or disabling Password on boot. A supervisor password must be set before a user password can be set.
