BIOS Security Passwords
The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can
be accessed and who can boot the computer. An administrator password and a user
password can be set for the BIOS Setup and for booting the computer, with the following
restrictions:
 The administrator password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup
options. If only the administrator password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password
prompt of Setup gives the user restricted access to Setup.
 If both the administrator and user passwords are set, you must enter either the
administrator password or the user password to access Setup. Setup options are then
available for viewing and changing depending on whether the administrator or user
password was entered.
 Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt
is displayed before the computer is booted. If only the administrator password is set,
the computer boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can
enter either password to boot the computer.
