To disable the password security:

Turn on or reboot your system by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Del>.

Type your password and press <Ctrl><Enter>.

When Password Status is Locked, you must type the password and press

<Enter> when prompted at reboot.

If an incorrect system password is entered, the system displays a message and

prompts you to re-enter your password. You have three attempts to enter the

correct password. After the third unsuccessful attempt, the system displays an

error message that the system has halted and the system shuts down.

Even after you shut down and restart the system, the error message continues

to be displayed until the correct password is entered.

NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the System

Password and Setup Password options to protect your system from unauthorized

changes.

Changing an Existing System Password

Enter the System Setup program by pressing <F2> during POST.

Select the

System Security

screen.

Verify that the

if the password was

deleted.

Using the Setup Password

Assigning a Setup Password

You can assign a setup password only when the Setup Password is Not

Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight the Setup Password option

and press the <+> or <–> key. The system prompts you to enter and verify

the password.

NOTE: The setup password can be the same as the system password. If the two

passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate system

password. The system password cannot be used in place of the setup password.

You can use up to 32 characters in your password.
