Password Security

The Power-On Password prevents unauthorized access to the
information stored on your computer or on the network. When
set, a password is required each time the computer is turned on
or restarted.

The Setup Password protects the system configuration settings
from unauthorized modifications.

Passwords may be any combination of 1 to 8 alphanumeric
characters, excluding the National Keyboard Delimiter
Characters shown later in this chapter.
