Using System Security

This section describes the security options provided with your computer.

System Passwords

The computer provides two levels of password security: administrative-level
(supervisor) and user-level (user). Either password prevents unauthorized access to the
computer. The supervisor password enables full access to all System Setup fields. The
user password enables full access to only the Set User Password and Password on
boot security fields and read access to all other System Setup fields.
If multiple users have access to the computer (such as in a network environment), a
supervisor password can prevent unauthorized access to certain security options.
Choose the type of password security that is appropriate for your work. If you want to
set a user password, you must set a supervisor password first.

If You Forget Your Password

It is very important that you do not forget your password. If you do, you cannot access
your system. Write your password down and keep it in a safe place. If you do forget
and cannot find the written note, you will have to contact the reseller of your computer
and possibly take or send it in to them so that you can access the computer again.

moves but your password does not appear on the screen.
