Using an administrator password
Important
If Enhanced Security is enabled, keep a record of your administrator
password in a secure place. If you forget or lose the administrator
password, you must replace the system board in order to recover.
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons from
changing configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the
settings of several computers, you might want to set an administrator
password.
After you set an administrator password, a password prompt appears each
time you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type
the wrong password, you receive a message telling you so. If you type the
wrong password three times in succession, you must turn the computer off
and start again.
If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can type either
of the passwords. However, in order to change any settings, you must use
your administrator password. If you enter the power-on password, you
will only be able to view limited information.
