Table 38. BIOS Setup options—Passwords menu(continued)
Passwords
NOTE: This option does not remove the requirement to enter the password
after shutting down.
By default, the Password Bypass option is disabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Password
Bypass option enabled.
Password Changes
Admin Setup Lockout The Admin Setup Lockout option prevents an end user from even viewing the
BIOS setup configuration without first entering the administrator password (if
set).
By default, the Admin Setup Lockout option is disabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Admin Setup
Lockout option disabled.
Master Password Lockout
Enable Master Password Lockout The Master Password Lockout setting allows you to disable the Recovery
Password feature. If the computer, administrator, or hard drive password is
forgotten, the computer becomes unusable.
NOTE: When the owner password is set, the Master Password Lockout
option is not available.
NOTE: When an internal hard drive password is set, it must first be cleared
before Master Password Lockout can be changed.
By default, the Enable Master Password Lockout option is disabled.
Dell does not recommend enabling the Master Password Lockout unless you
have implemented your own password recovery computer.
Allow Non-Admin PSID Revert The Allow Non-Admin PSID Revert option allows a user to clear the hard drive
password without entering the BIOS Admin Password. When an Admin Password
is set, the ability to enter the PSID is protected by requiring authentication with
the Admin Password. If this option is enabled, any user can clear the drive without
entering the Admin Password.
By default, the Enable Allow Non-Admin PSID Revert option is disabled.
NOTE: To view this option, enable Advanced Setup mode as described in
View Advanced Setup options.

from a recovery file on the user primary hard drive or an external USB key.

drives (SED).
NOTE: BIOS recovery is designed to fix the main BIOS block and cannot work
if the Boot Block is damaged. In addition, this feature cannot work in the
134 BIOS Setup
