System and Setup Password Features
Your system is shipped without the system password feature enabled. Operate
the system only with system password protection.
NOTE: The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your
system.
NOTE: Anyone can access the data stored on your system if the system is running
and unattended.
Using the System Password
When a system password is assigned, the system prompts for the system
password after the system starts and only those with the password have full
use of the system.
Assigning a System Password
Before assigning a system password, enter the System Setup program and
check the System Password option.
When a system password is assigned, System Password is Enabled. If
Password Status is Unlocked, you can change the system password. If Locked,
you cannot change the system password. Disabling the password jumper on
the system board sets System Password to Disabled, and you cannot change
or enter a new system password.
