Afterwards

So, now you want your own password.

This page will show how a new password can be set and everything returned to normal.

Now that the laptop has been cleared of the password, the primary and administrative password fields

in setup both show disabled.

But, on the right side of this screen, it can be seen that the option to set either of these password has

been removed, due to the lack of a Service Tag.

So, now you want to set your own password for the laptop. After having read all of the reasons why

setting a password will not prevent theft or access to the laptop or data, and after demonstrating how

such a password can be removed, it seems rather ironic. But there may be reasons why you would

want to do so.

First, though, it would probably help for me to let you know what a Service Tag is and what it does.

And also, tell you about Asset Tags and Owner Tags.

The chip which was just cleared during the procedure had some information on it, as I am sure you

know by now. Naturally, it contained the passwords, Primary and / or Administrative.
