102 Securing and Managing the Mobile Computer
5.1 Setting a BIOS Password
System Setup (BIOS) enables you to change system settings such as the
date and time or set boot device priority. You can set a supervisor password
to prevent unauthorized access to your Mobile Computer’s BIOS.
When the Supervisor Password is set, users must enter the password to start
