Description
Allows you to set and enable a setup (administrator) password.
NOTE: If the setup password is set, it is required to change Computer Setup options, flash the
ROM, and make changes to certain plug and play settings under Windows.
Allows you to set and enable a power-on password. The power-on password prompt appears
after a power cycle or reboot. If the user does not enter the correct power-on password, the unit
will not boot.
Allows you to enable/disable:
Lock Legacy Resources (determines whether or not Windows Device Manager is allowed to
●
change resource settings for serial and parallel ports).
Stringent security (enabling the stringent password disables the ability to reset the password
●
by moving the jumper on the system board). Default is disabled.
CAUTION: If you enable the stringent security feature and you forget the setup password
or the power-on password, the computer is inaccessible and can no longer be used.
If you lose or forget the password, the system board must be replaced. This scenario is not
covered under warranty.
To prevent the computer from becoming permanently unusable, record your configured
setup password or power-on password in a safe place away from your computer. Without
these passwords, the computer cannot be unlocked.
Setup Browse Mode (appears if a setup password is set) (allows viewing, but not changing,
●
the F10 Setup Options without entering setup password). Default is enabled.
Password prompt on F9 & F12 (requires setup password to use these boot functions).
●
Default is enabled.
Network Server Mode. Default is disabled.
