18 Security Menu – Security Functions

The Security menu offers various options for protecting your system and personal

data from un authorized access. Using a sensible

combination of these options will

help you achieve maximum protection for your system.

The following security settings can be made in this menu. Some of them are

only available under certain conditions.

18.1 Password Description

Neither an Administrator password nor a User password has been allocated.

Opening the BIOS Setup and booting the system are possible without restriction.

Only the Administrator password was allocated.

If ONLY an Administrator password was allocated, only the BIOS Setup is protected. Booting

the system can be performed without restriction.

When you access the BIOS Setup with an Administrator password, the Administrator access level is assigned to you and you have unrestricted

access to the BIOS Setup. If you access the BIOS Setup without a password, access to the

BIOS Setup is limited because you are only

assigned the User access level.
