Using System Security

This section describes your computer security programs. The first is the standard BIOS security which is standard on almost all computers. The second is a advanced factory option Biometric security system that uses your fingerprint(s) to control access to your computer and individual files if necessary. You no longer have to worry about passwords being lost, stolen or forgotten.

BIOS Security

The BIOS security operations are explained below:

System Passwords

The computer provides (4) levels of password security: administrative-level (supervisor), user-level (user), HDD access and Password on Boot. These passwords prevent 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. The HDD Password controls access to the hard drive.

If you enter your HDD password wrong two times, the correct password will not be recognized on the third attempt. Restart your computer and enter the correct password.

You may also enable the biometric security at boot.

The (3) security boot time options are:

The Biometric Security software MUST be installed prior to setting the security options to any of the fingerprint options.

•Disabled

•Text password

•Finger Print

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.
