About Passwords
Using the password function, you can restrict which users can access the system
by entering the correct password. There are two passwords that can be set; a
supervisor password, and a user password. The holder of a supervisor password
has more access than the holder of a user password, and the supervisor can change
the access of the user.
System Start-up Access
If Password on Boot is set to enabled, the system cannot be started until the
correct password is entered.
Setup Utility Access
The Setup utility cannot be executed if the correct password is not entered. If a
user password is used to start the Setup utility, the following fields cannot be
accessed or changed.
•
Set Supervisor Password
•
Diskette Access
•
Boot Sector Virus Protection
Floppy Disk Drive Access
If the password protection is enabled, the floppy disk drive access is restricted. If,
in the Setup utility, Diskette Access is set to Supervisor, the floppy disk can only
be accessed if the supervisor password was used for system start-up. If set to
User, the floppy disk can be accessed whether the supervisor password or the user
password was used for system start-up.
Caution: If you forget your password, you will not be able to start or
setup the system. Be sure to use a password that you will not forget, or to
note it and keep it in a safe place. If three mistakes are made while
entering the password at system start-up or when running the Setup
utility, SYSTEM DISABLED will be displayed. In that case, turn the
notebook off, then on again.
