This Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output
System). It runs and maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is menu-driven software, which allows
you to easily configure and change the settings. Attention: You should be very careful using BIOS
settings as you could render you computer unusable if you do not understand what you are doing. The
BIOS allows you to set up a password to limit access to the computer (not just Windows). Unauthorized
access to the computer can thus be prevented.

First turn on the power. When the BIOS performs the POST (Power-On Self Test), that is, the computer is
starting up, press the DEL key to activate the BIOS Setup Utility.
You may need to press DEL key fairly quickly. If the system loads Windows,
then you know you have missed it. Restart and make sure you press the DEL button earlier.
