To provide maximum security for your system, operate the system with System Pass-
word Enabled, Setup Password Enabled, and Password Status Locked. Then, if you
want to let selected individuals use your system, give them the system password
but
not the setup password
. In this way, even those who know the system password can-

program to change or disable it.
