Set User Password (Security Menu)
You can set a password for
user mode
access to the Setup utility. This will
not affect access to the computer OS, (only the Setup utility) unless you
choose to set a Password on Boot (see below). Many menu items in the Setup
utility cannot be modified in
user mode
. You can only set the user password
after you have set the supervisor password.
Password on boot: (Security Menu)
Specify whether or not a password (supervisor or user password) should be
entered to boot the computer. If “
Enabled
” is selected, only users who enter a
correct password can boot the system (
see the warning in the sidebar
). The
default setting is “
Disabled
”.
Note
: To clear existing passwords press
Enter
and type the existing password,
then press
Enter
for the new password (without typing any password entry)
and
Enter
again to confirm the password clearance.
Password Warning
If you set a boot pass-
word (Password on boot
is “Enabled“),
NEVER
forget your password.
The consequences of
this could be serious. If
you cannot remember
your boot password you
must contact your ven-
dor and you may lose all
of the information on
your hard disk.
