Establishing a Power-On Password
Using Computer Setup
Establishing a Power-On Password through Computer Setup prevents access to
the workstation when power is turned on unless the password is entered. The
password must be entered each time the workstation is turned on, when the key
icon appears on the monitor.
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.
2. When you see the words “F10=Setup” appear in the bottom-right
corner of the screen, press F10.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed, you
must manually turn the workstation off, then on again to access the utility.
3. From the main menu, select Security, then select Power-On Password
and follow the instructions on the screen.
4. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
5. Restart the workstation.
Entering a Power-On Password
To enter a Power-On Password:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.
2. When the key icon appears on the monitor, enter your current password.
NOTE: Type carefully; for security reasons, the characters you type do not
appear on the screen.
If you enter the password incorrectly, a broken key icon appears. Try again.
After three unsuccessful tries, you must turn off the workstation, then turn it on
again before you can continue.
