Using passwords
Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. Setting these
passwords creates several different levels of protection for your computer and data:
Supervisor Password prevents unauthorized entry into the BIOS utility. Once
•
set, you must enter this password to gain access to the BIOS utility. See
"BIOS utility" on page 33.
User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use. Combine the
•
use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-up and resume from
Hibernation for maximum security.
Password on Boot secures your computer against unauthorized use. Combine
•
the use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-up and resume
from Hibernation for maximum security.
Important! Do not forget your Supervisor Password! If you forget
your password, please get in touch with your dealer or an
authorized service center.
