Set User Password (Security Menu)
You can set a password for user mode access to the Setup utility. This will
not affect access to the computer OS, (only the Setup utility) unless you
choose to set a Password on Boot (see below). Many menu items in the Setup
utility cannot be modified in user mode. You can only set the user password
after you have set the supervisor password.
Password on boot: (Security Menu)
Specify whether or not a password (supervisor or user password) should be
entered to boot the computer. If "Enabled" is selected, only users who enter a
correct password can boot the system (see the warning in the sidebar). The
default setting is "Disabled".
Note: To clear existing passwords press Enter and type the existing password,
then press Enter for the new password (without typing any password entry)
and Enter again to confirm the password clearance.
