The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built
into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). It
runs and maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is
menu-driven software, which allows you to easily configure
and change the settings.
The BIOS contains Manufacturer’s default settings for the
computer’s standard operations. However, there are
occasions when you may be required to modify the default
settings in the BIOS.
The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to
users. This is an important feature because a great deal of
vital information is carried within the computer nowadays.
Unauthorized access can be prevented. Later in this
chapter, you will learn how to use this security feature.
