Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E525 - Manual (Page 116)

Note: Hard Disk 1 means the hard disk drive built into your computer.
The Lock UEFI BIOS Settings option enables or disables the function that protects items in the ThinkPad
Setup program from being changed by a user who does not have the supervisor password. By default,
this is set to Disabled. If you set the supervisor password and enable this function, no one but you can
change any items in the ThinkPad Setup program.
If you select Set Minimum Length, you can specify a minimum length for the power-on password and
hard disk password. By default, this is set to Disabled. If you set the supervisor password and specify a
minimum length for passwords, no one but you can change the length.
If you select and enable Password at unattended boot, a password prompt is displayed when the computer
is turned on, from either a power-off state or hibernation. If you select Enabled, no password prompt is
displayed; the computer goes ahead and loads the operating system. To prevent unauthorized access, set
the user authentication on the operating system.
If you select and enable Password at restart, a password prompt is displayed when you restart the
computer. If you select Disabled, no password prompt is displayed; the computer goes ahead and loads the
operating system. To prevent unauthorized access, set the user authentication on the operating system.
Startup menu
You might need to change the startup sequence of your computer. For example, if you have different
operating systems on different devices, you can have the system start up from either of them.
Attention: After you change your startup sequence, you must be extremely careful not to specify a wrong
device during a copy, a save, or a format operation. If you specify a wrong device, your data and programs
might be erased or overwritten.
Attention: If you are using the BitLocker ® drive encryption, you should not change the startup sequence.
BitLocker drive encryption detects the change of startup sequence and locks the computer from booting.
