Setting a User Password
Users can start the system with a user password, but cannot enter the System Setup. By doing this, you can prevent other users from entering Setup.
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.
Activating the Booting Password
Before activating the booting password, the supervisor password must have been configured.
Set the Password on boot option to Enabled. From now on, system booting will not proceed without the password.
Setting up a Hard Disk Drive Password
A supervisor password must be set using the Set Supervisor Password menu. If you set a password for a hard disk drive, it cannot be accessed from another computer. Press Enter in the Set HDD 0 Password item and define a password as described in Step 3 of the Setting up the Supervisor Password.
Changing the hard disk drive password
For security purposes, you can only change a hard disk drive password after restarting the computer by pressing the computer Power button.
If you cannot change the hard disk drive password or the HDD Password Frozen message appears when entering the BIOS Setup and then selecting Security > HDD 0 Password, press the Power button to turn the computer on again.
Deactivating the Password
1 Press <Enter> on the password to be deactivated. For example, to deactivate a supervisor password in the Set Supervisor Password item, press <Enter>.
2 In the Enter Current Password item, enter the currently configured password and press <Enter>.
3 Leave the Enter New Password item field empty, and press <Enter>.
4 Leave the Confirm New Password field empty, and press <Enter>.
5 In the [Setup Notice] window, press <Enter>. The password is deactivated.
