4. Set User Password
Option Values: [Entry Field – 0-14 characters]
Help Text:
User password is used if Power On Password is enabled and to allow restricted access to BIOS
Setup. Length is 1-14 characters. Case sensitive alphabetic, numeric and special
characters !@#$%^&*()-_+=? are allowed.
Note: Removing the administrator password also removes the user password.
Comments: The User password is available only if the Administrator Password has been
installed. This option protects Setup settings as well as boot choices. The User Password only allows
limited access to the Setup options, and no choice of boot devices.
When Power On Password protection is enabled, the User password may be used to allow the BIOS to
complete POST and boot the system.
The password format and entry rules and popup error and warning message are the same for the User
password as for the Administrator password (see above).

Power On Password
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
Enable Power On Password support. If enabled, password entry is required in order to boot the
system.
Comments: When Power On Password security is enabled, the system will halt soon after
power on and the BIOS will ask for a password before continuing POST and booting. Either the
Administrator or User password may be used.
If an Administrator password has not been set, this option will be grayed out and unavailable. If this
option is enabled and the Administrator password is removed, that will also disable this option.

buttons on the system’s front panel. If [Enabled] is selected, power off and reset must be
controlled from a system management interface, and the NMI Diagnostic Interrupt is not
available.
