Securing your computer
Read this section to learn how to secure your computer against
unauthorized access and damage.
Securing against unauthorized access
Your computer provides three different levels of protection to secure
your computer system and data against unauthorized access.
BIOS password
The BIOS password prevents unauthorized bootup and unauthorized
access to the BIOS setup utility. Once the password is set, you must
enter the password at the start of the boot procedure. Refer to the
BIOS Setup Utility Reference Guide for more details.
Hard disk password
The hard disk password prevents unauthorized access to your hard
disk. Once the password is set, you must enter the password after the
BIOS power on self test is completed. Refer to the
BIOS Setup Utility
Reference Guide to see how to set a hard disk password.
Operating system passwords

passwords to be set for different users. Refer to the
Windows XP
