Table 5-3 Computer Setup—Security
Option Description
Setup Password Allows you to set and enable a setup (administrator) password.
NOTE: If the setup password is set, it is required to change Computer Setup options, ash the ROM, and
make changes to certain plug and play settings under Windows.
Power-On Password Allows you to set and enable a power-on password. The power-on password prompt appears after a
power cycle or reboot. If the user does not enter the correct power-on password, the unit will not boot.
Password Options
(This selection appears
only if a power-on
password or setup
password is set.)
Allows you to enable/disable:
●
Lock Legacy Resources (determines whether or not Windows Device Manager is allowed to change
resource settings for serial and parallel ports).
●
Stringent security (enabling the stringent password disables the ability to reset the password by
moving the jumper on the system board). Default is disabled.
CAUTION: If you enable the stringent security feature and you forget the setup password or the
power-on password, the computer is inaccessible and can no longer be used.
If you lose or forget the password, the system board must be replaced. This scenario is not covered
under warranty.
To prevent the computer from becoming permanently unusable, record your congured setup
password or power-on password in a safe place away from your computer. Without these
passwords, the computer cannot be unlocked.
●
Setup Browse Mode (appears if a setup password is set) (allows viewing, but not changing, the F10
Setup Options without entering setup password). Default is enabled.
●
Password prompt on F9 & F12 (requires setup password to use these boot functions). Default is
enabled.
●
