Using System Passwords - Acer ExtensaTM 670 User Manual

Using System Passwords

The computer has a two-password security
system — Supervisor and User.
The Supervisor password is used by system
administrators who manage multiple notebooks
and gives an extra level of security while still
allowing users to set their individual Setup
preferences in the system Setup menu. If only
one password is set, the Supervisor password is
also the User password.
If both the Supervisor password and the User
password are set, the Supervisor password must
be entered to gain access to the Setup Security
options:
AND FIXED DISK BOOT SECTOR
Both passwords prevent unauthorized access to
the computer at system startup or when the
computer resumes from 0V Suspend mode if the
PASSWORD CHECK DURING RESUME
Setup is enabled.
