A setup password can be assigned (or changed) only when the Setup Password category is set to Not Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight the Setup Password category and press the left- or right-arrow key. The system prompts you to enter and verify the password. If a character is illegal for password use, the system emits a beep. NOTES: 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. However, the system password cannot be used in place of the setup password. After you verify the password, the Setup Password setting 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 category becomes effective immediately (rebooting the system is not required). If Setup Password is set to Enabled, you must enter the correct setup password before you can modify the majority of the System Setup categories. When you start the System Setup program, Page 2 of the System Setup screens appears with the Setup Password category highlighted, prompting you to type the password. If you do not enter the correct password in three tries, the system lets you view, but not modify, the System Setup screens-with the following exceptions: You can still modify the Date, Time, CPU Speed, Num Lock, and Speaker categories. If System Password is not enabled and is not locked via the Password Status category, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or change an existing system password). NOTE: You can use the Password Status category in conjunction with Setup Password to protect the system password from unauthorized changes. For more information, see "Password Status" found earlier in this chapter. To delete or change an existing setup password, perform the following steps: The setting changes to Not Enabled.
