Disabling a Forgotten Password

The system's software security features include a system password and a setup

password, which are discussed in detail in "Using the System Setup Program

and UEFI Boot Manager" on page 57. The password jumper enables these

password features or disables them and clears any password(s) currently in

use.

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.

You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service

covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came
