UEFI BIOS passwords
You can set passwords in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to strengthen the security of your computer.

Password types
You can set a power-on password, supervisor password, system management password, or hard disk password in UEFI BIOS to prevent unauthorized access to your computer. However, you are not prompted to enter any UEFI BIOS password when your computer resumes from sleep mode.

Power-on password
If you set a power-on password, a window is displayed on the screen when you turn on the computer. Enter the correct password to use the computer.

Supervisor password
The supervisor password protects the system information stored in UEFI BIOS. When entering the UEFI BIOS menu, enter the correct supervisor password in the window prompted. You also can press Enter to skip the password prompt. However, you cannot change most of the system configuration options in UEFI BIOS.
If you have set both the supervisor password and power-on password, you can use the supervisor password to access your computer when you turn it on. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password.

System management password
The system management password can also protect the system information stored in UEFI BIOS like a supervisor password, but it has lower authority by default. The system management password can be set through the UEFI BIOS menu or through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) with the Lenovo client-management interface.
You can enable the system management password to have the same authority as the supervisor password to control security-related features. To customize the authority of the system management password through the UEFI BIOS menu:

  1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 to enter the UEFI BIOS menu.
  2. Select Security ➙ Password ➙ System Management Password Access Control.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If you have set both the supervisor password and the system management password, the supervisor password overrides the system management password. If you have set both the system management password and the power-on password, the system management password overrides the power-on password.

Hard disk passwords
The hard disk password prevents unauthorized access to the data on the storage drive. When a hard disk password is set, you are prompted to type a correct password each time you try to access the storage drive.

  • User hard disk password only
    When a user hard disk password is set without a master hard disk password, the user must enter the user hard disk password to access files and applications on the storage drive.
  • Master hard disk password + User hard disk password
    The master hard disk password is set and used by a system administrator. It enables the administrator to access any storage drive in a system or any computer connected in the same network. The administrator can also assign a user hard disk password for each computer in the network. The user of the computer can change the user hard disk password as desired, but only the administrator can remove the user hard disk password.
    When prompted to enter a hard disk password, press F1 to switch between the master hard disk password and user hard disk password.

Notes: The hard disk password is not available in the following situations:

  • A Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal-compliant storage drive and a TCG Opal management software program are installed in the computer, and the TCG Opal management software program is activated.
  • An eDrive storage drive is installed in the computer preinstalled with the Windows operating system.

Set, change, or remove a password

Your computer might have a Windows Genuine Microsoft label affixed to its cover depending on the following factors:

  • Your geographic location
  • Edition of Windows that is preinstalled
    Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspx for illustrations of the various types of Genuine Microsoft labels.
  • In the People's Republic of China, the Genuine Microsoft label is required on all computer models preinstalled with any edition of the Windows operating system.
  • In other countries and regions, the Genuine Microsoft label is required only on computer models licensed for Windows Pro editions.
    The absence of a Genuine Microsoft label does not indicate that the preinstalled Windows version is not genuine. For details on how to tell whether your preinstalled Windows product is genuine, refer to the information provided by Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/default.aspx.
    There are no external, visual indicators of the Product ID or Windows version for which the computer is licensed. Instead, the Product ID is recorded in the computer firmware. Whenever a Windows product is installed, the installation program checks the computer firmware for a valid, matching Product ID to complete the activation.
    In some cases, an earlier Windows version might be preinstalled under the terms of the Windows Pro edition license downgrade rights.
