Chapter 4. Secure your computer information
Use passwords
Password types
You can set the following passwords in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System) to prevent unauthorized access to your computer. However, you are not prompted to enter
any UEFI BIOS password when your computer resumes from sleep mode.
• Power-on password
When a power-on password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time the computer is
turned on. The computer cannot be used until the valid password is entered.
• Supervisor password
Setting a supervisor password deters unauthorized users from changing configuration settings. If you are
responsible for maintaining the configuration settings of several computers, you might want to set a
supervisor password.
When a supervisor password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to enter
the BIOS menu.
If both the power-on password and supervisor password are set, you can enter either password.
However, you must use your supervisor password to change any configuration settings.
• Hard disk password
Setting a hard disk password prevents unauthorized access to the data on the storage drive. When a hard
disk password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to access the storage
drive.
Note: After you set a hard disk password, your data on the storage drive is protected even if the storage
drive is removed from one computer and installed in another.
• System management password (for selected models)
You can enable the system management password to have the same authority as the supervisor
password to control security related features. To customize the authority of the system management
password through the UEFI BIOS menu:
1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.
2. Select Security

System Management Password Access Control .
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you have set both the supervisor password and the system management password, the supervisor
password overrides the system management password.
