Establishing a Power-On Password Using Computer Setup
✎
Desktop Management Guide
Establishing a power-on password through Computer Setup prevents
access to the computer when power is turned on, unless the password
is entered. When a power-on password is set, Computer Setup
presents Password Options under the Security menu. The password
options include Network Server Mode and Password Prompt on
Warm Boot.
When Network Server Mode is disabled, the password must be
entered each time the computer is turned on when the key icon
appears on the monitor. When Password Prompt on Warm Boot is
enabled, the password must also be entered each time the computer is
rebooted. When Network Server Mode is enabled, the password
prompt is not presented during POST, but any attached PS/2 keyboard
will remain locked until the user enters the power-on password.
1. Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Windows, click
Start > Shut Down > Restart the Computer.
2. When the F10 Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of
the screen, press the F10 key. Press Enter to bypass the title
screen, if necessary.
If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed, you
must restart the computer to access the utility.
3. Select Security, then Power-On Password and follow the
instructions on the screen.
4. Before exiting, click File > Save Changes and Exit.
