Setting Password - Sharp PC-TN1 Series Operation Manual

Device Configuration enables or disables built-in devices such as USB, audio system,
modem, LAN, PC card, IEEE1394 and Wireless LAN.
Supervisor and User Password
Setting a password will protect your computer against unauthorized access. Once a
password is set, the system requires the password when entering to the Setup Utility.
And if Password on boot is enabled, the system will require a password when the
computer is turned on.
If you enter a wrong password three times, the message System Disabled
appears. Shut down your computer with the power switch and after 10
seconds, slide it to turn on your computer again.
Your computer supports two different levels of password security: Supervisor
password and User password. You cannot set a user password unless you have set a
supervisor password. If you share the computer with others, we recommend that you
set both the supervisor and the user password, and let others know the user password
only.
If you type the user password when you enter the Setup Utility, you can change System
Time and System Date of the Main menu, Resolution Expansion of the Advanced menu
and Set User Password of the Security menu only.
