 Using Password Protection
Two Levels of Password Protection are available. The BIOS provides both a Supervisor and a
User password. If you try to activate both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set first.
The passwords activate two different levels of protection:
1. System always asks for password every time it is powered on.
2. System asks for password only when you attempt to enter BIOS utility.
The passwords are encrypted and stored in NVRAM. Make sure you write them down or
memorize them. If you lost the passwords, the computer may need to be sent back to the factory
or to an authorized service dealer to reset the passwords.
