Setting a Boot Password

If you set a password, you have to enter the password when you

turn the computer on or enter the BIOS Setup.
By configuring a password, you can restrict system access to

authorized users only and protect data and files saved on the

computer.

The password setting provides the following 3 sub menus.

(Supervisor Password, User Password and HDD Password)
Do not lose or forget your password.

Do not let others know your password.

If you forget the Supervisor Password or HDD Password,

you will need to request assistance from the service center.

In this case, a service fee will be charged.
When you forget the User Password, you can disable

the Supervisor Password, and the User Password is also

automatically disabled.
The screen images and terms may differ from actual

product depending on the computer model and driver

version.

Setting a Supervisor Password

If you set a Supervisor Password, you need to enter the password

when you turn the computer on or enter the BIOS Setup.
Setting only the Supervisor Password and User Password is not

very secure. You can use an HDD Password as well to increase the

security level.
