Using passwords
Setup password
The setup password protects the system information stored in the
BIOS Utility so that without knowing the password, nobody can
change the configuration of the computer.
Attention
If you forget your setup password, you cannot reset it. You must
take the computer to an IBM reseller or IBM marketing represen-
tative to have the password cancelled. Proof or purchase is
required, and an additional charge might be required for the
service.
To establish a setup password, refer to the Online User's Guide.
Network password
If you work on a local area network (LAN) with your ThinkPad com-
puter, your LAN administrator may have set passwords to restrict
access to various parts of the network.
If you are authorized to access restricted areas of your LAN, you will
need to establish network passwords in Windows.
To establish your network password in Windows, refer to the Online
User's Guide.
