Using the System Setup Program 2-17

Your Dell system is shipped to you without the system password feature enabled. If

system security is a concern, you should operate your system only with system

password protection.

You can assign a system password, as described in the next subsection, “Assigning a

System Password,” whenever you use the System Setup program. After a system

password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the

system.

When the System Password

option is set to Enabled, the computer system prompts

you for the system password just after the system boots.

To change an existing system password, you must know the password (see “Deleting

or Changing an Existing System Password” found later in this section). If you assign

and later

forget

a system password, you need to be able to remove the computer

cover to change a jumper setting that disables the system password feature (see

“Disabling a Forgotten Password” found later in this chapter). Note that you

erase the

setup password

at the same time.

Before you can assign a system password, you must enter the System Setup program

and check the System Password option.

When a system password is assigned, the option shown in the System Password

option is Enabled. When the system password feature is disabled by a jumper setting

on the system board, the option shown is Disabled by Jumper.

You cannot change or

enter a new system password if either of these options is displayed.

When no system password is assigned and the password jumper on the system

board is in the enabled position (its default setting), the option shown for the System

Password option is Not Enabled.

Only when this option is set to

Not Enabled can you

assign a system password

, using the following procedure:
