Failure to initialize the Embedded Security chip could result in an unauthorized user, a computer worm, or a virus taking ownership of the system. ✎ Because the chip configurations are enabled and changed through Computer Setup, the BIOS administrator password must be established in Computer Setup before the chip configurations can be accessed.
