Getting Started
The next time you open the BIOS Setup Utility program, you will be
prompted to type your password to proceed.
Changing or Removing the Supervisor Password
To change the password, do the following:
1. In the Enter Current Password field, type the current supervisor
password.
2. In the Enter New Password field, type the new supervisor password;
then retype it to verify.
To remove the password, do the following:
1. In the Enter Current Password field, type the current supervisor
password.
2. Leave the Enter New Password field blank, and then press the Enter
key twice.
Hard Disk Passwords
Two types of the hard disk passwords help protect the information stored
on the hard disk:
• Hard disk user password
• Hard disk master password, which requires a hard disk user password
If User only is selected and a hard disk user password has been set, but no
hard disk master password has been set, the user must enter the hard disk
user password in order to gain access to files and applications on the hard
disk.
If User + Master is selected you need to set a master password and a user
password both as the Hard Disk Password. Either of the two passwords can
be used to get access to the Hard disk. Any change or removal to the master
password deletes the user password.
To set a hard disk password:
Print these instructions.
1. Turn on your computer. Press F2, while the initial screen is displayed.
The BIOS Setup Utility screen opens.
2. Select Security, using the cursor directional keys.
3. Select Built-in HDD1 Password Select, and press the Enter key. A
window for selecting User Only or User + Master opens.
