Supervisor password
The supervisor password protects the system information stored in the ThinkPad Setup. Without it, no one
can change the conguration of the computer. It provides the following security features:

Unauthorized users cannot get access to conguration data.
• The system administrator can use the supervisor password to get access to a computer even if the user of
that computer has set a power-on password. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password.
• If both a supervisor password and a power-on password are set, you can do the following only if you
have the supervisor password:
