If you forget your passwords you will need to contact our Service Desk.
Deletion or resetting of passwords are not covered b y your warranty
and a charge will be ma de for assistance.
In the BIOS setup utility menu Security, if you alter the Password Severity setting from
itsdeliverystatusofStrong to Stringent, the Fujitsu Service Desk will no longer be able
to reset the password. The system may then rema in unusuable indefinitely.
Fujitsu therefore recommends always setting up a Su pervisor password
with the setting of Password Severity = Strong.
