Remember the Password
It is recommended to keep a record of all passwords in a safe place. Forgotten passwords results in the user being
locked out of the system. If the system cannot be booted because the User Password or the Supervisor Password are
not known, clear the uEFI BIOS settings, or contact Kontron Support for further assistance.
HDD security passwords cannot be cleared using the above method.
