Using passwords
Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. Setting
these passwords creates several different levels of protection for your
computer and data:
• Supervisor Password prevents unauthorized entry into the BIOS utility.
Once set, you must enter this password to gain access to the BIOS
utility. See "BIOS utility" on page 49.
• User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use.
Combine the use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-
up and resume from Hibernation (if available) for maximum security.
• Password on Boot secures your computer against unauthorized use.
Combine the use of this password with password checkpoints on boot-
up and resume from Hibernation (if available) for maximum security.
Important: Do not forget your Supervisor Password! If you forget
your password, please get in touch with your dealer or an
authorized service center.
