information on installing and deleting passwords.
Caution: If you forget a password, you will be unable to use your

password in a secure location.
Set User Password
If you have set a supervisor password, you can then set a lower-level user
password. With a user password, you can enter the Setup utility and change or
remove the user password. You cannot change or remove the supervisor
password, nor enable diskette access if it has been disabled to the user. See the
following topic
About Passwords
for information on installing and deleting
passwords.
Password on Boot
As a default, you only need a password to access the Setup utility. If you enable
this field, you must type in the password every time the notebook is turned on. If
you do not type in the correct password, the notebook does not start. If both the
supervisor password and the user password is set and this field is set to
Disabled
,
the system assumes that the user is booting.
Diskette Access
This field is only available when the supervisor password has been used, or if no
passwords have been installed. If you set the value of this field to Supervisor, only
the supervisor can use the floppy disk drive.
Boot Sector Virus Protection
This field is only available when the supervisor password has been used, or if no
passwords have been installed. When this field is enabled, it provides some
protection against computer viruses which try to infect the boot sector of disks.
