Security Passwords
How to Clear Passwords
6/2
FT1200 HANDBOOK
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS
Setup program and who can boot the computer. A supervisor
password and a user password can be set for the Setup program and
for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:
♦
The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and
change all the Setup options in the Setup program.
♦
The user password gives restricted access to view and change
Setup options in the Setup program.
♦
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key
at the password prompt of the Setup program allows the user
restricted access to Setup.
♦
If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, you can enter
either the supervisor password or the user password to access
Setup. You have access to Setup respective to which password
is entered.
♦
Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer.
The password prompt is displayed before the computer is
booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer
boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set,
you can enter either password to boot the computer.
