Set Supervisor Password (Security Menu)
You can set a password for 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 over).
Password on boot: (Security Menu)
Specify whether or not a 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.
Security Menu
The changes you make here affect the access to the Setup utility itsel, and also access
to your machine as it boots up after you turn it on. These settings do not affect your
machine or network passwords which will be set in your software OS.
