Using System Security
This section describes the security options provided with your
computer.
System Passwords
The computer provides two levels of password security:
administrative-level (supervisor) and user-level (user). Either
password prevents unauthorized access to the computer. The
supervisor password enables full access to all System Setup fields. The
user password enables full access to only the Set User Password and
Password on boot security fields and read access to all other System
Setup fields. (See “Security Menu” on page 50 for a complete list of
System Setup security fields.)
If multiple users have access to the computer (such as in a network
environment), a supervisor password can prevent unauthorized access
to certain security options.
Choose the type of password security that is appropriate for your work.
If you want to set a user password, you must set a supervisor password
first.
