Configuring password protection in BIOS Setup Utility
Before using the various options for password protection in the BIOS Setup
Utility, please proceed as follows to increase data security:
Make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe place. If you forget your supervisor
HDD password you will not be able to access your Tablet PC. Deletion of passwords is
not covered by your warranty and a charge will therefore be made for assistance.
Password protection
Your password can be up to eight characters long and can contain letters and
numbers. No distinction is made between uppercase and lowercase.
Protecting BIOS Setup Utility (supervisor HDD password
and user HDD password)
If you have opened these operating instructions on the screen, we recommend
that you print them out. You cannot call up the instructions on the screen
while you are setting up the password.
BIOS SetupUtility
The supervisor HDD password and the user HDD password both prevent unauthorized use of the
BIOS Setup Utility. The supervisor HDD password allows you to access all of the functions of the BIOS
Setup Utility, while the user HDD password will only give you access to some of the functions. You
can only set a user HDD password when a supervisor HDD password has already been assigned.
