Setting the admin password
The Admin Password button lets you set or change the admin
password used by both the SSU and the system BIOS. This option is not

entered only the user password when you started the SSU. All changes
to the admin password take effect immediately.
To change or clear the administrator password:
1 From the SSU Main window, choose Security.
2 Click the Admin Password button.
3 If you are changing passwords, enter the old password.
4 Enter the new password (or leave blank to clear).
5 Confirm the password by entering it again (or leave blank to
clear).
6 Click OK to save the password and return to the Security window.
