Configuring Password Security
You can set two passwords, which can be used to provide two levels of
protection for your PC.
User Password
The User Password provides these security features:
• a power-on password prompt to prevent your PC being started in
your absence
•
a keyboard lock timer which you can use to lock your PC after a
specified number of minutes of keyboard inactivity
•
screen blanking to conceal confidential data when the PC is locked.
System Administrator
Password
Set the System Administrator Password to protect the PC’s
configuration in Setup. The PC can be started, but the System
Administrator Password must be entered before any Setup options
(except User Preferences) can be modified.
