Unauthorized users cannot get access to configuration data. • The system administrator can use the supervisor password to get access to a computer even if the user of that computer has set a power-on password. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password. • If both a supervisor password and a power-on password are set, you can do the following only if you have the supervisor password: - Deleting the power-on password - Changing or deleting the supervisor password - Enabling or disabling the Wake on LAN feature - Enabling or disabling the Internal Network Option ROM feature - Changing date and time - Enabling or disabling the Lock UEFI BIOS Settings feature 52 User Guide
