Using Password Protection
Two Levels of Password Protection are available. The BIOS provides both a Supervisor and a User password. If
you try to activate both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set first.
The passwords activate two different levels of protection:
1. System always asks for password every time it is powered on.
2. System asks for password only when you attempt to enter BIOS utility.
The passwords are encrypted and stored in NVRAM. Make sure you write them down or memorize them. If you
lose the passwords, the computer may need to be sent back to the factory or an authorized service dealer to
reset the passwords.

The Suspend Mode selection in BIOS only applies to older Windows version (such as Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 or NT4) or
non-Windows operating system. In Windows ME / 98SE / 2000 / XP, suspend mode and settings are determined by settings in the Power
Options Properties (Start > Control Panel > Power Options).
Note:
By default, both the Long Battery Life Mode and High Performance Mode are enabled. In this combination, when the notebook is on
AC power, it enters Higher Performance Mode automatically, and when the notebook is on battery power, it enters Long Battery Life Mode.
