If Not Enabled is not displayed for the System Password category, press the key combination to reboot the system, and then repeat steps 3 through 5. Your Dell system is shipped to you without the setup password feature enabled. If system security is a concern, you should operate your system with setup password protection.

After a setup password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the System Setup program. To change an existing setup password, you must know the setup password (see "Deleting or Changing an Existing Setup Password" found later in this section). If you assign and later forget a setup password, you need to remove the computer cover to change a jumper setting that disables the setup password feature (see "Disabling a Forgotten Password" found later in this chapter).

Your Dell system is shipped to you without the setup password feature enabled. If
system security is a concern, you should operate your system with setup password
protection.
You can assign a setup password, as described in the next subsection, “Assigning a
Setup Password,” whenever you use the System Setup program. After a setup
password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the Sys-
tem Setup program.
To change an existing setup password, you must know the setup password (see
“Deleting or Changing an Existing Setup Password” found later in this section). If you
assign and later
forget
a setup password, you need to remove the computer cover to
change a jumper setting that disables the setup password feature (see “Disabling a
Forgotten Password” found later in this chapter). Note that you erase the
system
password
at the same time.
