Remember the Password
It is highly recommended to keep a record of all passwords in a safe place. Forgotten passwords may lead to being
completely locked out of the system.
If the system cannot be booted because neither the User Password nor the Administrator Password are known, refer
to the section 3.1, for information about clearing the uEFI BIOS settings, or contact Kontron for further assistance.
The HDD User Password cannot be cleared using the above method.
