Password Protection

The computer provides the following types of password protection:
•

System password

• Setup password
System Password
System passwords allow only those who know the password to have full use
of the system. Your Dell system does not have the system password feature
enabled when you receive it.
NOTICE:
Although passwords provide security for the data on your system,
they are not foolproof. If your data requires more security, it is your
responsibility to obtain and use additional forms of protection, such as data
encryption programs.
NOTICE: If you leave your system running and unattended without having a
system password assigned, or if you leave your computer unlocked so that
someone can disable the password by changing a jumper setting, anyone can
access the data stored on your hard drive.
