Set Supervisor Password (Security Menu)

You can set a password for access to the Aptio Setup Utility. This will not affect
access to the computer OS (only the Aptio Setup Utility). If you set a supervisor
password you can then add a user password.

Set User Password (Security Menu)

You can set a password for user mode access to the Aptio Setup Utility. This will
not affect access to the computer OS, (only the Setup utility) unless you choose to
set a Password on Boot (see below). Many menu items in the Aptio Setup Utility
cannot be modified in user mode. You can only set the user password after you
have set the supervisor password
.

Note: To clear existing passwords press Enter and type the existing password, then
press Enter for the new password (without typing any password entry) and Enter
again to confirm the password clearance.

Interface Items (Security Menu)

The interfaces for the ExpressCard (New Card), Card Reader, WLAN, LAN, Audio
and ODD (optical device drive) may be enabled/disabled from the menu items here
if required.

Password Warning

If you set a boot pass-
word (Password on boot
is “Enabled“), NEVER
forget your password.

The consequences of
this could be serious. If
you cannot remember
your boot password you
must contact your ven-
dor and you may lose all
of the information on
your hard disk.
