ing Return.
Note: The password is case sensitive.

installed, the system asks for this first. To clear a password, simply enter nothing and acknowl-
edge by pressing Return. To set a password, enter it twice and acknowledge by pressing Re-

4.3 HDD Security Configuration
Allows access to set, modify and clear the harddisk User password. The harddisk User pass-
word must be set to enable harddisk security.
Note: The harddisk User password is case sensitive.
4.4 Remember the Password
It is highly recommended to keep a record of all passwords in a safe place. Forgotten pass-
words may lead to being completely locked out of the system.
If the system cannot be booted because neither the uEFI BIOS User password nor the Admin-
istrator password are known, refer to Chapter 4.1 in the AM4022 User Guide for information
about clearing the uEFI BIOS settings, or contact Kontron for further assistance.
Note: The harddisk User password cannot be cleared using the above method.
