The supervisor password has been set.

The supervisor password is required to turn the computer on

or to enter the BIOS Setup.

For some models, if the password entered message appears

in the Setup Notice window, the settings are not complete

until the <Enter> key is pressed.

Setting a User Password

Using the User Password, you can turn the computer on but you

cannot change the major settings of the BIOS Setup because you

cannot enter the BIOS Setup.
This helps prevent unauthorized access to the major settings in

the BIOS Setup menu.
Before configuring a user password, a supervisor password must

have been configured. Deactivating the supervisor password also

deactivates the user password.
In the Set User Password select and complete the procedures

from Step 3 of Setting a Supervisor Password.

Setting Up a Boot Password

To setup a boot password, the administrator password (Set

Supervisor Password) should be set in advance.
Set the Password on boot item to Enabled.
Once a boot password is set, you have to enter a password to boot

up the computer.
Be sure to remember the password for later use.
