Table 36. System setup options-Passwords menu (continued) Passwords Password Bypass The Password Bypass option allows the computer to reboot from the operating system without entering the computer or hard drive password. If the computer has already booted to the operating system, it is presumed that the user has already entered the correct computer or hard drive password. NOTE: This option does not remove the requirement to enter the password after shutting down. By default, the Password Bypass option is disabled. Password Changes Allow Non-Admin Password Changes The Allow Non-Admin Password Changes option in BIOS setup allows an end user to set or change the computer or hard drive passwords without entering the administrator password. This gives an administrator control over the BIOS settings but enables an end user to provide their own password. By default, the option is disabled. For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Allow NonAdmin Password Changes option enabled. Admin Setup Lockout The Admin Setup Lockout option prevents an end user from even viewing the BIOS setup configuration without first entering the administrator password (if set). By default, the Admin Setup Lockout option is disabled. For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Admin Setup Lockout option disabled. Master Password Lockout Enable Master Password Lockout The Master Password Lockout setting allows you to disable the Recovery Password feature. If the computer, administrator, or hard drive password is forgotten, the computer becomes unusable. NOTE: When the owner password is set, the Master Password Lockout option is not available. NOTE: When an internal hard drive password is set, it must first be cleared before Master Password Lockout can be changed. By default, the Enable Master Password Lockout option is disabled. Dell does not recommend enabling the Master Password Lockout unless you have implemented your own password recovery computer. Allow Non-Admin PSID Revert This option controls access to the Physical Security ID (PSID) revert of NVMe storage drives from the Dell Security Manager prompt. When disabled: If a BIOS Admin password is set, PSID revert is protected by the BIOS Admin password and the user will be promted to enter the BIOS Admin password before performing the revert. When enabled: PSID revert is allowed to proceed without providing the BIOS admin password. By default, the option is disabled. Table 37. System setup options-Update, Recovery menu Update, Recovery UEFI Capsule Firmware Updates Enable UEFI Capsule Firmware Updates Enables or disables BIOS updates through UEFI capsule update packages. NOTE: Disabling this option blocks the BIOS updates from services such as Microsoft Windows Update and Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS). BIOS Setup 103
