Configuring password p rotection 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 th em 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 y our warranty and a charge will be made for assistance.
Password protection
Your password can be up to
32 characters long and can contain
letters, numbers and spe
cial characters.
When using special ch ar
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 String en t in the Security
BIOS Setup Utility menu, the Fujitsu Service Desk c an no longer reset the password.
In this ca se, the system c an remain permanently unusable.
Therefore, Fujitsu recommends to generally set up a supervisor password
with the setting Password Severity = Strong.

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 pa ssword 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 Util ity, while the user pa ssword will only g ive y ou access to some of the functions. You
can only set up a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.
