To assign a setup password, follow these steps:
If a character is illegal for password use, the system emits a beep.
The setup password is now assigned and is Enabled.
NOTES: The setup password can be the same as the system password.
If the two passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate
system password. However, the system password cannot be used in place of the
setup password.
After you verify the password, the Setup Password setting changes to Enabled. The
next time you enter the System Setup program, the system prompts you for the
setup password.
A change to the Setup Password setting becomes effective immediately (rebooting
the system is not required).

If Setup Password is set to Enabled, you must enter the correct setup password
before you can modify the majority of the System Setup options.
When you start the System Setup program, the System Setup screen appears with
the Setup Password
setting highlighted, prompting you to type the password.
If you do not enter the correct password, the system lets you view, but not modify,
the System Setup screen—with the following exceptions:
You can still modify the System Date, System Time, CPU
Speed, Keyboard Num
Lock, and PC Speaker options.
If System Password is not enabled and is not locked via the Password Status
option, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or
change an existing system password).
NOTE: You can use the Password Status setting in conjunction with the Setup
Password feature to protect the system password from unauthorized changes.
