Security menu
The Security menu allows you to set passwords to protect the system from
unauthorized access.
Administrator
Password
The administrator password is limited to 3-20 characters and is case sensitive. The
password does not support special characters, such as "!", "%", "^", "~".
When the administrator password is set, the password must be entered to access
the BIOS setup menu. If an incorrect password is entered more than three times,
the system BIOS displays a warning message.
User Password The user password is limited to 3-20 characters and is case sensitive. The password
does not support special characters, such as "!", "%", "^", "~".
When a user password is set, you must enter the password during system boot and
to access the BIOS setup menu. If an incorrect password is entered more than three
times, the system BIOS displays a warning message.
Note: To set a user password, you must first set an administrator password. Setting
a user password first automatically sets the administrator password by default.
Note: If you forget the administrator password, the BIOS settings must be cleared
by removing the system battery.
