Setting A User Password - Samsung P55 User Manual

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  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 >

computer on again.
