Setting passwords
There are three password settings available; Supervisor Password,
User Password, and HDD Password.
• Supervisor Password (low security level): This password is
required when turning on the computer or attempt to enter
the BIOS setup.
• User Password (low security level): This password is required
to enter the BIOS setup. This password will be deactivated
automatically if the Supervisor Password is disabled.
• HDD Password (high security level): This password is required
to access the hard disk drive (HDD) from another computer.
This password may not be supported, depending on the
model.
Boot password
Setting a password with the BIOS enhances protection against
viruses and hacking attacks.
• Do not forget your password or expose it to others.
• If you forget the Supervisor Password or HDD
Password, request assistance from the service center. In
this case, a service fee will be charged.
• When you forget the User Password, disable the
Supervisor Password, and the User Password is also
automatically disabled.
