Password protection for booting of the operating system

prevent starting of the operating system.
Activating system protection

Select the Password on Boot option and press the Enter key.
Select the desired option (Disabled, First Boot or Every Boot) and press the Enter key
Select the Save Changes & Exit option under Exit.
The notebook reboots. You will be prompted to enter your password (the supervisor password).
Deactivating system protection

Select the Password on Boot option and press the Enter key.
Select the Disabled option and press the Enter key.
If you do not want to change any other settings, you can exit BIOS Setup Utility.

Password protection for the hard disk

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (device-dependent)

To use the TPM, you must activate the TPM in the BIOS Setup before the software is installed. The
condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor password
Enabling TPM
Once you have activated the TPM through a reboot, the Clear Security Chip menu option
appears.
With Clear Security Chip, you can delete the owner in the TPM, if the TPM has already been
used. With Enabled, all secret keys generated by applications (e.g. SRK - Storage Root Keys,
AIK - Attestation Identity Keys, etc.) are deleted.
Please note that you will then no longer be able to access the data you have encrypted with the
keys based on that holder.
The notebook will restart, and TPM will be enabled after the reboot.
