System and Setup Password Features NOTE: For a forgotten password, see "Disabling a Forgotten Password" on page 174. Your system is shipped without the system password feature enabled in BIOS. The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your system. CAUTION: Anyone can access the data stored on your system if the system is running and unattended. Using the System Password When a system password is assigned, the system prompts for the system password after the system starts and only those with the password have full use of the system. Assigning a System Password Before assigning a system password, enter the System Setup program and check the System Password option. When a system password is assigned, System Password is Enabled. If Password Status is Unlocked, you can change the system password. If Locked, you cannot change the system password. Disabling the password jumper on the system board sets System Password to Disabled, and you cannot change or enter a new system password. When a system password is not assigned and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled position, System Password is Not Enabled and Password Status is Unlocked. To assign a system password: 1 Verify that Password Status is Unlocked. 2 Highlight the System Password option and press . 3 Type your new system password. You can use up to 32 characters in your password. As you type, placeholders appear in the field. The password assignment is not case-sensitive. To erase a character, press or the left-arrow key. NOTE: To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press to move to another field, or press prior to completing step 5. 72 Using the System Setup Program and UEFI Boot Manager
