3–8 BIOS Setup Program
The Security screen allows you to restrict access to the Setup
program by setting passwords for two different access modes:
•
Administrative
•
User
Administrative mode has full access to the Setup program. User
mode allows limited access to these setup options:
•
system date and time change
•
power management hot key
•
user password change
•
security hot key
•
unattended start
You can set separate Administrative and User passwords, to limit
who can change critical setup values. The limitations depend on
whether either the Administrative or User passwords, or both are set.
To limit boot-up access to the system, set the User password. The
system asks for this password before booting. If only the
Administrative password is set, the system boots without requesting
a password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password
to boot the system.
