access to important system settings. In the BIOS Setup you can also activate protection for the
operating system and your hard disk.
Password protection for the operating system
With corresponding settings in the BIOS Setup you can block starting of the operating system. Only
those who know the supervisor or user password can access the system.
Password protection for your hard disk
By activating the hard disk protection in the BIOS Setup you prevent unauthorised access to the hard
disk drive. The hard disk password is checked internally during each system start-up and ensures
that the hard disk can only be used in conjunction with the related device.
