Your system is shipped without the system password feature enabled in BIOS. The
password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your system.
CAUTION:
Anyone can access the data stored on your system if the system is
running and unattended.
Using the System Password
When a system password is assigned, the system prompts for the system
password after the system starts and only those with the password have full
use of the system.
Assigning a System Password
Before assigning a system password, enter the System Setup program and
check the
System Password option.
When a system password is assigned, System Password is Enabled .
If Password Status is Unlocked , you can change the system password.
If Locked , you cannot change the system password. Disabling the password
jumper on the system board sets System Password to Disabled , and you
cannot change or enter a new system password.
