System and Setup Password Features
NOTE: For a forgotten password, see "Disabling a Forgotten Password" on
page 132.
Your system is shipped without the system password feature enabled. Operate
the system only with system password protection.
CAUTION: 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.
Option Description
System Setup Accesses the System Setup program without rebooting.
System Services Restarts the system and accesses the Unified Server
Configurator (USC), which allows you to run utilities
such as system diagnostics.
BIOS Boot Manager Accesses the BIOS-level boot options list without
rebooting. This option enables you to conveniently
switch to BIOS boot mode if you need to boot to a
device with a non-UEFI operating system, such as a
bootable DOS media with diagnostics software.
