Disabling the System Password

If the system password is already set, you can disable it by typing the password

during POST and pressing <Ctrl><Enter> or you can enter the system

setup and press <Enter> twice when you are in the system password menu.

Changing an Existing System Password

1 Enter the System Setup program by pressing <F2> during POST.
2 Select the System Security screen.
3 Verify that the Password Status is Unlocked.
4 Type the new system password in the two password fields.

The

System Password field changes to Not Enabled if the password was

deleted.

Using the Setup Password

Assigning a Setup Password

You can assign a setup password only when the Setup Password is Not

Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight the Setup Password option

and press the <+> or <–> key. The system prompts you to enter and

verify the password.

NOTE:

The setup password can be the same as the system password. If the two

passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate system

password. The system password cannot be used in place of the setup password.

You can use up to 32 characters in your password.
As you type, placeholders appear in the field.
The password assignment is not case-sensitive. To erase a character, press

<Backspace> or the left-arrow key.
When you verify the password, the Setup Password changes to Enabled.

The next time you enter the System Setup program, the system prompts you

for the setup password.
A change to the Setup Password option becomes effective immediately

(restarting the system is not required).
