Supervisor and User Password
Your Starion Minitower PC computer has two password levels that you can set to prevent
unauthorized access to your computer files or BIOS Setup utility. If you set a supervisor or
user password, you will be prompted to enter a password prior to accessing the BIOS Setup
utility. If “Password On Boot” is enabled, you will be prompted to enter a password before
your operating system boots.
A supervisor password is required to set a user password. If you later delete the supervisor
password, the user password is also removed.
Perform the following steps to set a supervisor and user password:
1.
Reboot your computer.

access Setup.

[Enter].
