System and Setup Password Features
NOTE: For a forgotten password, see "Disabling a Forgotten Password" on
page 154.
Your system is shipped without the system password feature enabled in BIOS.
CAUTION: The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on
your system. 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.
Option Description
System Setup Accesses the System Setup program without rebooting.

rebooting. This option enables you to conveniently
switch to BIOS boot mode if you need to boot to a
device with a non-UEFI operating system, such as a
bootable DOS media with diagnostics software.
Reboot System Restarts the system.
