Using Password Protection
Two Levels of Password Protection are available. The BIOS
provides both a Supervisor and a User password. If you try to
activate both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set first.
The passwords activate two different levels of protection:
1. System always asks for password every time it is powered on.
2. System asks for password only when you attempt to enter BIOS
utility.
The passwords are encrypted and stored in NVRAM. Make sure you
write them down or memorize them. If you lost the passwords, the
computer may need to be sent back to the factory or to an
authorized service dealer to reset the passwords.
