Using the System Password Feature

NOTICE: The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your system.
However, they are not foolproof. If your data requires more security, it is your responsibility to obtain
and use additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs.

NOTICE: Dell recommends that the system password be left in the "Not Enabled" (default) setting.
When your system operates in a headless configuration, you cannot input a system password to
reboot the system.

Your Dell system is shipped to you without the system password feature enabled. If system security is a
concern, you should attach a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to your system and enable password protection.

You can

assign a system password

whenever you use the System Setup program. After a system password

is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the system.

When the System Password option is set to Enabled, the system prompts you for the system password just
after the system boots.
