The password can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Special characters are not allowed.

4 When a message confirming the password configuration appears in the Setup Notice window, press <Enter>.

The supervisor password has been set.

Setting a User Password

The User Password restricts access to the computer or for configuring the BIOS Setup, like a Supervisor Password. However, the Setup items that can

be configured with a User Password are restricted, unlike for a Supervisor Password.

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.

Setting Up a Boot Password

To setup a boot password, the administrator password (Set Supervisor Password) should be set in advance.

Set the Password on boot item to Enabled.

Once a boot password is set, you have to enter the password to boot up the computer.
