BIOS password(s) you set.
BIOS System Passwords
To set up a password to access the PhoenixBIOS TM Setup Utility
on the Tablet PC:
NOTE: These procedures describe using the pen to enter information; you can
also attach an external keyboard if you prefer.
1. Start the Tablet PC.
2. When the Motion Computing Splash Screen
appears, quickly press Hot Key #2 (2). If you miss
the Splash screen, turn the Tablet PC off then back
on and try this step again.
3. From the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility, tap Security
on the menu bar.
4. To set up a System password, double-tap Enter
next to Set
System Password.
5. Type in a System Password using the onscreen
keyboard.
6. Tap Enter.
7. Type in the password again to confirm it.
8. Tap Enter. The system returns to the Security screen and the System
Password reads Set. A password is now required to enter the
PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility.
9. To set up a Password on boot, tap Disabled next to Password on
boot until Enabled is highlighted. You will not be prompted to type in
another password because Password on boot uses the System
password.
NOTE: You cannot set up Password on boot until you set up a
System password.
10. If you have finished setting up a password, tap Exit or press the Esc
key on the Tablet PC to exit the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility.
11. When you exit, you are prompted to select from the
following options:
• Exit Saving Changes
• Exit Discarding Changes
• Load Setup Defaults
• Discard Changes
• Save Changes
12. Select the desired action.
