Password Protection
Your NEC Versa supports a password for system security on several levels. Your system is not
protected until you set a user password. Keep in mind that you must set the supervisor password
before the BIOS Setup utility allows you to set a user password.
Once you set a supervisor password, you must enter it before you can enter BIOS Setup, access
the system at startup, or resume from Suspend, depending on your configuration selection.
Establishing Passwords
To establish password protection for entering the BIOS Setup Utility or accessing the system at
startup, you must set the supervisor password before setting a user password.
!
To enter a password simply select Assign Supervisor Password, enter the password, re-enter
the password to confirm, and press any key to continue. Repeat the procedure to set the user
password.
!
To initiate password protection while you step away from your system, simply press
Ctrl
,
Alt,
Backspace
. The Caps lock and Scroll lock LEDs alternately flash indicating that you
must enter a password to resume operation.
