This option provides restricted access to the computer's System Setup program in
the same way that access to the system can be restricted with the System Password
option. The settings are Set, Not Set, and Disabled.
If the option is to Set, an administrator password is assigned.
If the option is to Not Set, no administrator password is assigned and the password
jumper on the system board is in the enabled position (the default setting).
If the option is to Disabled, the administrator password is disabled by a jumper
setting on the system board.
To disable the administrator password, enter the password at the prompt and hit
<Ctrl><Enter>.
Displays the current status of the system's password security feature and allows a
new system password to be assigned and verified. The settings are Set, Not Set,

If the option is Not Set, no system password is assigned and the password jumper
on the system board is in the enabled position (the default setting).

Set this password to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the hard drive.

The option appears for each installed hard drive that supports hard-drive
passwords. If no drives support a drive password, this option will not display.
Set this password to prevent unauthorized users from accessing a hard drive
installed in the module bay.
NOTE:
The option only appears for a hard drive installed in the module bay that
supports hard-drive passwords. If no hard drive is installed in the module bay, or
if one is installed that does not support a hard-drive password, this option will
not display.
NOTE:
This option is only available for the ultra small form factor computer.
This option locks the system password field with the administrator password. When
the field is locked, the option to disable password security by pressing
<Ctrl><Enter> when the computer starts is no longer available.
When installed and enabled, this option alerts the user, during the next system start-
up, that the computer cover has been opened. The settings are On, On-Silent
(default setting), and Off.
