Setup Utility Administrator Password
The Setup utility administrator password protects the
configuration settings and system identification information in
the Setup utility. After this password is set, it must be entered to
access the Setup utility.
The administrator password
■ Is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator
password, although both passwords can be identical.
■ Is not displayed as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.
■ Must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, an
administrator password set with keyboard number keys will
not be recognized if you enter it thereafter with embedded
numeric keypad number keys.
■ Can include any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers
and is not case sensitive.
