5. BIOS Setup
Security Menu
The Notebook PC’s advanced system of security allows you to set a password to prevent unautho-
rized access to system resources, data, and the BIOS Setup Program. This Section covers each
parameter of the Security Setup. Selecting Security from the menu bar displays the following menu:

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Security menu. The passwords
control access to the BIOS and certain Security menu options during system startup. The passwords
are not case sensitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether you enter a password using
upper or lowercase letters.
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor password
and a User password. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions. When
enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS Setup program and having full
access to all Security menu options.
