A setup password can be assigned (or changed) only when Setup Password is set to
Not Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight Setup Password and press the
left- or right-arrow key. The system prompts you to enter and verify the password. If a
character is illegal for password use, the system emits a beep.
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 Setup Password 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, Page 2 of the System Setup screens
appears with Setup Password highlighted, prompting you to type the password.
If you do not enter the correct password in three tries, the system lets you view, but
not modify, the System Setup screens—with the following exceptions:
You can still modify Date, Time, CPU Speed, Num Lock, and Speaker.
If System Password is not enabled and is not locked via Password Status, you
can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or change an exist-
ing system password).
NOTE: You can use Password Status in conjunction with Setup Password to pro-
tect System Password from unauthorized changes. For more information, see
“Password Status” found earlier in this chapter.
