Administrator password
is used if Power On
Password is enabled and
to control change access
in BIOS Setup. Length is
1-14 characters. Case
sensitive alphabetic,
numeric, and special
characters !@#$%^&*()-
_+=? are allowed.
Note: Administrator
password must be set in
order to use the User
account.
This password controls “change”
access to Setup. The Administrator has
full access to change settings for any
Setup options, including setting the
Administrator and User passwords.
When Power On Password protection is
enabled, the Administrator password
may be used to allow the BIOS to
complete POST and boot the system.
Deleting all characters in the password
entry field removes a password
previously set. Clearing the
Administrator Password also clears the
User Password.
If invalid characters are present in the
password entered, it will not be
accepted, and there will be popup error
message:
Password entered is not valid. Only
case sensitive alphabetic, numeric and
special characters !@#$%^&*()-_+=?
are allowed.
The Administrator and User passwords
must be different. If the password
entered is the same as the User
password, it will not be accepted, and
there will be popup error message:
Password entered is not valid.
Administrator and User passwords
must be different.
Strong passwords are encouraged,
although not mandatory. If a password
is entered which does not meet the
“Strong Password” criteria, there will be
a popup warning message:
Warning – A Strong Password should
include at least one each case sensitive
alphabetic, numeric, and special
character. Length should be 8 to 14
characters.
