Setting Passwords
You can set two passwords, the administrator password and the user
password, to provide two levels of protection for your PC. You set both
passwords in the Security menu group of the
Setup program.
Setting an Administrator Password
Set the Administrator Password to protect the PC’s configuration in
Setup . An Administrator Password can provide a power-on password
prompt to prevent your PC being started or used in your absence. You
can also use this password to start the PC when the keyboard (and
mouse) are locked—you must type the password and press
to unlock the keyboard (refer to "Power-On Password", on page 52).
If you have set both an Administrator Password and a User Password,
and you enter the
Setup program by using the User Password, you will
be restricted in your ability to change setup items. If you enter the
Setup program with an Administrator Password, you will have no
restrictions.
To set an Administrator Password:
1 Start the Setup Program. Refer to "Using the Setup Program", on
page 42.
2 Select the Security menu group.
3 Select the “Administrator Password” submenu.
4 Choose the “Set Administrator Password” setup item. You will be
asked to enter your password twice. Be sure to save your changes
before you exit the
Setup program.
To remove the password, follow the same procedure as to set a
password, but do not enter anything in the password field. Press return
and then press return a second time to confirm your action.
NOTE If you forget your password, refer to "If You Have Forgotten Your
Password", on page 76.
