Configuring password protection in BIOS Setup Utility
Before using the various options for password protection in the BIOS Setup utility
to increase data security, please observe the following:
Make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe place. If you forget your
supervisor password you will not be able to access your notebook. Deletion of the
password is not covered by your warranty and a charge will be made for assistance.
Passwordprotection
Your password can be up to
32 characters long and can contain
letters, numbers and spe
cial characters.
When using special char
acters, you must remember that these are dependent
on the country variants
of the keyboard used.
If you change the Password Severity setting from Strong to Stringent in the Security
BIOS Setup Utility menu, the Fujitsu Service Desk can no longer reset the password.
In this case, the system can remain permanently unusable.
Therefore, Fujitsu recommends to generally set up a supervisor password
with the setting Password Severity = Strong.
Protecting BIOS Setup Utility (supervisor and user password)
If you have opened these operating instructions on the screen, we
recommend that you print them out. You cannot call the instructions onto
the screen while you are setting up the password.

The supervisor password and the user password both prevent unauthorised use of the BIOS Setup
Utility. With the aid of the supervisor password you can access all of the functions of the BIOS
Setup Utility, while the user password will only give you access to some of the functions. You
can only set up a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.
Please refer to section "Settings in BIOS Setup Utility", Page 59 for a description
of how to call up and operate the BIOS-Setup-Utility.
