Using the System Setup Program 2-21

If you do not enter the correct password in three tries, the system lets you view, but

not modify, the System Setup screens—with the following exceptions:

 You can still modify the Date, Time, CPU

Speed, Num

Lock, and

Speaker options.

 If System Password is not enabled and is not locked via the Password Status

option, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or

change an existing system password).

NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with Setup Pass-

word to protect the system password from unauthorized changes. For more
