Set User Password (Security Menu)

You can set a password for user mode access to the Aptio Setup Utility. This will
not affect access to the computer OS, (only the Setup utility) unless you choose to
set a Password on Boot (see below). Many menu items in the Aptio Setup Utility
cannot be modified in user mode.
Note: You can only set the user password after you have set the supervisor pass-
word.

Password on boot: (Security Menu)

Specify whether or not a password should be entered to boot the computer (you may
only set a password on boot if a supervisor password is enabled). If "Enabled"
is selected, only users who enter a correct password can boot the system (see the
warning in the sidebar). The default setting is "Disabled".
