Supervisor Password Is; Set User Password; User Password Is; Password On Boot - Dell 2100 User Manual

Supervisor Password Is

This category displays whether the supervisor password
is disabled or enabled. When Enabled is displayed, the
supervisor password has already been set and is required
in order to have full access (see Table 4-2) to the System
Setup program. The default is Disabled.

User Password Is

This category displays whether the user password is dis-
abled or enabled. When Enabled is displayed, the user
password has already been set and is required at start up.
Unlike the supervisor password, the user password does
not allow you full access (see Table 4-2) to the System
Setup program. The default is Disabled.

Set Supervisor Password

The Set Supervisor Password category lets you restrict
access to your computer's System Setup program in the
same way that you restrict access to your system with the
user password feature.
NOTE: Read "Using the Supervisor Password Feature"
later in this chapter for detailed instructions on assigning
a supervisor password and using, deleting, or changing
an existing supervisor password. See "Disabling a For-
gotten Password" found later in this chapter for information
on disabling a forgotten supervisor password.

Set User Password

NOTE: You cannot set the user password until a supervi-
sor password is set.
The Set User Password category lets you restrict access
to your system by setting a user password that is required
when the Password On Boot category is set to Enabled.
NOTE: Read "Using the User Password Feature" later
in this chapter for detailed instructions on assigning a
user password and using, deleting, or changing an
existing user password. See "Disabling a Forgotten
Password" found later in this chapter for information on
disabling a forgotten user password.

Password on Boot

The Password On Boot category allows you to require a
supervisor password during the boot-up process when the
category is set to Enabled. The default is Disabled.

Diskette Access

The Supervisor setting restricts access of diskette drives
to the supervisor only. The User setting (the default)
allows access to the supervisor and the user.

at selected intervals to remind you to back up the system.
