System Security If you select the System Security option from the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, you can view and, in some cases, change the system security settings for your computer. You can use this menu to control access to the hard disk and diskette drives. You can also set, change, and delete power-on and administrator passwords. Item Enhanced Security Description If your model has the Enhanced Security feature, this option on the System Security menu shows the current setting for enhanced security. Enhanced security can only be enabled or disabled when you update system programs, as further explained under "Enabling and disabling enhanced security" on page 56. Enhanced security provides extra protection for your administrator password and startup (boot) sequence settings. When enhanced security is enabled, your administrator password and startup sequence are stored in a highly-protected, nonvolatile, security EEPROM module that is separate from CMOS memory and the EEPROM module that stores system programs. When your administrator password and startup sequence are locked in the security EEPROM, they remain intact even if the battery in your computer expires or is removed by someone. Chapter 5.
