Setting Passwords

You can set two passwords, the administrator password and the user
password, to provide two levels of protection for your PC.
Set the Administrator Password to protect the PC's configuration in
Setup. The Administrator Password must be entered before any Setup
options, except Preferences, can be modified.
Setting a User or Administrator Password can provide a power-on
password prompt to prevent your PC being started or used in your
absence. A user password can only be set if an administrator password
has been set. The user password also allows the possibility of starting
the PC with the keyboard locked. You must then type the password and
press to unlock the keyboard.
