6.7 Security Setup Screen

System BIOS provides two levels of password protection. They are Administrator password
and User password. The system can be configured that all users must enter password every
time the system boots or when setup utility is executed, using either Administrator
password or User password.

The Administrator and User passwords activate two different levels of password security. If
you select password support, you are prompted for 3 to 20 characters password. Type the
password on the keyboard. The password doesn’t appear on the screen when typed. Make
sure you write it down. If you forget it, you must drain NVRAM and re-configure it.

Administrator Password


Use this option to set a password for administrator with full control of the BIOS setup utility.

User Password


Use this option to set a password for user with limited access to the BIOS setup utility.
