press
Enter for the new password (without typing any password entry) and Enter
again to confirm the password clearance.

word.
Password on boot: (Security Menu)
Specify whether or not a password should be entered to boot the computer (
you may
only set a password on boot if a supervisor password is enabled). If “Enabled”
is selected, only users who enter a correct password can boot the system (
see the
warning in the sidebar). The default setting is “Disabled”.
Secure Boot (Security Menu)
Secure Boot prevents unauthorized operating systems and software from loading
during the startup process.
Secure Boot is available as a menu option if you have
Windows 8
set as your operating system, and have enabled UEFI Boot (see
). Enabling Secure Boot will bring up the
Secure Boot Mode
menu to enable you to configure Secure Boot as
Standard (with a fixed secure boot
policy), or
Custom (which enables you to make changes to the Image Execution
Policy and Key Management database).
Password Warning
If you set a boot pass-
word (Password on boot
is “Enabled“), NEVER
forget your password.
The consequences of
this could be serious. If
you cannot remember
your boot password you
must contact your ven-
dor and you may lose all
of the information on
your hard disk.
