Attention
Keep a record of your administrator password in a secure place. If you
lose or forget the administrator password, you will not be able to access
the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. You must remove the
computer cover and move a jumper on the system board to regain
access to the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. (Refer to “Erasing a
Lost or Forgotten Administrator Password” on page 36 for more
information.)
To set, change, or delete an administrator password:
1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility Program (see “Starting and Using
the Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page 29).

System Security and press Enter.

Password and go to step 8.

Arrow (

6. At Power-On Password Changeable by User, select Yes or No. Press
Left Arrow (

you select Yes and an administrator password is set, the power-on
password can be changed without having to enter the administrator
password. If you select No and an administrator password is set, the
power-on password cannot be changed unless the administrator
password is entered.)

menu.
