Using Your System Password to Secure Your System
NOTE: If you have assigned a setup password (see " Using the Setup Password "), the system accepts your setup
password as an alternate system password.
When the Password Status option is set to Unlocked, you have the option to leave the password security enabled or to
disable the password security.
To leave the password security enabled:
1. Turn on or reboot your system by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Del>.
2. Press <Enter>.
3. Type your password and press <Enter>.
To disable the password security:
1. Turn on or reboot your system by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Del>.
2. Press <Ctrl><Enter>.
When the Password Status option is set to Locked whenever you turn on your system or reboot your system by pressing
<Ctrl><Alt><Del>, type your password and press <Enter> at the prompt.
After you type the correct system password and press <Enter>, your system operates as usual.
If an incorrect system password is entered, the system displays a message and prompts you to re-enter your password. You
have three attempts to enter the correct password. After the third unsuccessful attempt, the system displays an error
message showing the number of unsuccessful attempts and that the system has halted and will shut down. This message can
alert you to an unauthorized person attempting to use your system.
Even after you shut down and restart the system, the error message continues to be displayed until the correct password is
entered.
NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the System Password and Setup Password
options to further protect your system from unauthorized changes.
