!
Before using the various options of password protection for your data security in the BIOS
Setup Utility, please note the following hints:
• Please keep in mind your passwords in any case, as you will not be able to access
your BIOS Setup Utility and/or your system any longer, if you forget both the user
password and the supervisor password.
The loss of passwords is not a warranty case and is therefore subject to charge.
• Back up your data on external data carriers at regular intervals.

Passwords can be up to six characters long. You can use all alphanumeric characters
and need not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters.
