52 Using the System Setup Program
Setup Password Restricts access to the System Setup program in the same way
that you restrict access to your system using the system
password feature.
NOTE: See "Using the Setup Password" on page 57 for
instructions on assigning a setup password and using or
changing an existing setup password.
Password Status Setting the Setup Password option to Enabled prevents the
system password from being changed or disabled at system
start-up.
To lock the system password, assign a setup password in the
Setup Password option and then change the Password Status
option to Locked. In this state, you cannot change the system
password using the System Password option and cannot be
disabled at system start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter>.
To unlock the system password, enter the setup password in
the Setup Password field and then change the Password
Status option to Unlocked. In this state, you can disable the
system password at system start-up by pressing
<Ctrl><Enter> and then change the password using the
System Password option.

reports the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-
boot measurements (compliant with Trusted Computing
Group standards) to the TPM during POST.
When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system
reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses pre-
boot measurements.
