B Password Security and Resetting CMOS This computer supports security password features, which can be established through the Computer Setup Utilities menu. This computer supports two security password features that are established through the Computer Setup Utilities menu: supervisor password and user password. When you establish only a supervisor password, any user can access all the information on the computer except Computer Setup. When you establish only a user password, the user password is required to access Computer Setup and any other information on the computer. When you establish both passwords, only the supervisor password will give you access to Computer Setup. When both passwords are set, the supervisor password can also be used in place of the user password as an override to log in to the computer. This is a useful feature for a network administrator. If you forget the password for the computer, you can clear that password so you can gain access to the information on the computer by resetting the password jumper.
