number during technical assistance or service calls. The service tag number is
also accessed by certain Dell support software, including the diagnostics
software.

Your Dell system is shipped to you without the system password feature enabled. If
system security is a concern, you should operate your system only with system
password protection.
You can assign a system password, as described in the next subsection, Assigning a
System Password, whenever you use the System Setup program. After a system
password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the
system.
When System Password
is set to Enabled, the computer system prompts you for
the system password just after the system boots.
To change an existing system password, you must know the password (see Deleting
or Changing an Existing System Password found later in this section). If you assign
and later
forget
a system password, you need to be able to remove the computer
cover to change a jumper setting that disables the system password feature (see
Disabling a Forgotten Password found later in this chapter). Note that when
you erase the system password, you erase the setup password at the same time.
