SETTING PASSWORDS

You can set two passwords, the administrator password and the user password, to provide two
levels of protection for your PC. You set both passwords in the Security menu group of the
Setup program.

SETTING AN ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD

Set the Administrator Password to protect the PC's configuration in Setup . An Administrator
Password can provide a power-on password prompt to prevent your PC being started or used in
your absence. You can also use this password to start the PC when the keyboard (and mouse)
are locked—you must type the password and press [ENTER] to unlock the keybaord (refer to
"PC Lock Button").
If you have set both an Administrator Password and a User Password, and you enter the Setup
program by using the User Password, you will be restricted in your ability to change setup
items. If you enter the Setup program with an Administrator Password, you will have no
restrictions.
To set an Administrator Password:
1 Start the Setup Program. Refer to "Using the Setup Program" earlier in this chapter.
2. Select the Security menu group.
3. Select the "Administrator Password" submenu.
4. Choose the "Set Administrator Password" setup item. You will be asked to enter your
password twice. Refer to "Administrator Password Submenu (Security group) in this
chapter". Be sure to save your changes before you exit the Setup program.
