book.book Page 72 Wednesday, August 19, 2009 4:40 PM Using the System Password When a system password is assigned, the system prompts for the system password after the system starts and only those with the password have full use of the system. Assigning a System Password Before assigning a system password, enter the System Setup program and check the System Password option. When a system password is assigned, System Password is Enabled. If Password Status is Unlocked, you can change the system password.
PAGE 73
book.book Page 73 Wednesday, August 19, 2009 4:40 PM Using Your System Password to Secure Your System NOTE: If you have assigned a setup password (see "Using the Setup Password" on page 74), the system accepts your setup password as an alternate system password. When Password Status is Unlocked, you have the option to leave the password security enabled or to disable password security. To leave the password security enabled: 1 Turn on or reboot your system by pressing .
PAGE 74
book.book Page 74 Wednesday, August 19, 2009 4:40 PM 4 Type the system password. 5 Confirm that Not Enabled is displayed for the System Password.
