Power-on password
Select this option to open the Power-on Password
menu. In this menu, you can set up a password to
restrict the use of your computer. You can also change
or remove the password.
If you set up a power-on password, you must type this
password each time your computer is turned on. If you
do not type the correct password, you cannot use your
computer.
The power-on password can be up to seven characters
long (letters, numbers, or both). Once you create your
password, be sure to write it down and put it in a secure
place.
In addition, you can choose to display or not display a
password prompt. If you turn on the prompt, your
computer will ask you for your password before it starts
the operating system. If you turn off the prompt, your
computer starts the operating system and then locks the
keyboard until you enter the password.
note:
The power-on password does not appear on the
screen when you type it.
