Password on boot: (Security Menu)
Specify whether or not a password should be entered to boot the computer. If “

abled
” is selected, only users who enter a correct password can boot the system (
see
the warning in the sidebar
). The default setting is “
Disabled
”.
Note
: To clear existing passwords press
Enter
and type the existing password, then
press
Enter
for the new password (without typing any password entry) and
Enter
again to confirm the password clearance.
Fixed disk boot sector: (Security Menu)
If you choose “
Write Protect
” this will protect against viruses being written to the
hard disk boot sector (this is not a substitute for installing an anti-virus program - see
“Viruses” on page 8 - 4
).
Password Warning
If you set a boot pass-
word (Password on boot
is “Enabled“),
NEVER
forget your password.
The consequences of
this could be serious. If
you cannot remember
your boot password you
must contact your ven-
dor and you may lose all
of the information on
your hard disk.
