Managing Computer Setup passwords
You can use BIOS Configuration to set and change the power-on
and setup passwords in Computer Setup, and also to manage
various password settings.
Ä
CAUTION: The passwords you set through the “Passwords” page in
BIOS Configuration are saved immediately upon clicking the Apply or
OK button in the ProtectTools window. Make sure you remember what
password you have set, because you will not be able to undo a
password setting without supplying the previous password.
The power-on password can protect your notebook from
unauthorized use.
✎
After you have set a power-on password, the Set button on the
“Passwords” page is replaced by a Change button.
The Computer Setup setup password protects the configuration
settings and system identification information in Computer Setup.
After this password is set, it must be entered to access Computer
Setup. If you have set a setup password, you will be prompted for
the password before opening the BIOS Configuration portion of
ProtectTools.
