The notebook’s advanced security system allows you to set a
password to prevent unauthorized access to system resources,
data, and the BIOS Setup program. This section covers each
Security parameter. Selecting Security from the menu bar displays
the Security menu.
A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the
Security menu. The passwords control access to the BIOS and
certain Security menu options during system startup.
Passwords are not case sensitive. A password can be entered
using either upper or lower case letters. When you choose your
password, it should be composed of characters A-Z, 0-9 and be
eight characters in length.
NOTE : The supervisor password must be set before the user
password can be set.
