Setting a Boot Password

Setting a User Password

Using the User Password, you can turn the computer on but you cannot change the major settings of the BIOS Setup because you cannot enter the BIOS Setup.

This helps prevent unauthorized access to the major settings in the BIOS Setup menu.

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 a password to boot up the computer.

Be sure to remember the password for later use.
