Configuring password protection in BIOS Setup
BIOS Setup:
Before using the various options for password protection in the BIOS Setup to
increase data security, please note the following hints:
•
Please make sure that you always remember your passwords, as you will
not be able to access your BIOS Setup and/or your system any longer if you
forget the user password and the supervisor password.
Passwords are not covered by your warranty and a charge will
be made for assistance.
•
Back up your data on external data carriers at regular intervals
Passwords can be up to eight characters long. You can use all alphanumeric characters
and need not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters.
Password protection for BIOS Setup (supervisor
and user password)
BIOS Setup:
Passwordprotection:
We recommend that you print out the following instructions, as these cannot
be displayed while setting the password.
By using both the supervisor and the user password you can prevent unauthorised persons
from opening the BIOS Setup. The supervisor password gives you access to all functions of
the BIOS Setup, while the user password only provides some of the functions. You can only
set a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.
Please refer to section
of calling and operating the BIOS Setup.
