Power-On Password
Setting a Power-On Access password helps protect
information stored in your system unit. If a Power-On
Access password is set for your system unit, the
Power-On Access status icon is shown in the locked
position. If a Power-On Access password is not set, then
the Power-On Access status icon is shown in the unlocked
position (as shown in the screen above).
When you select the Set icon, a screen with eight empty
boxes displays. Type your password in these boxes. You
can use any combination of up to eight characters (A–Z,
a–z, and 0–9) for your password. As you type a character,
a key displays in the box.
