10 Password Security and Resetting
CMOS
This computer supports security password features, which can be established through the Computer
Setup Utilities menu.
This computer supports two security password features that are established through the Computer
Setup Utilities menu: setup password and power-on password. When you establish only a setup
password, any user can access all the information on the computer except Computer Setup. When
you establish only a power-on password, the power-on password is required to access Computer
Setup and any other information on the computer. When you establish both passwords, only the
setup password will give you access to Computer Setup.
When both passwords are set, the setup password can also be used in place of the power-on
password as an override to log in to the computer. This is a useful feature for a network administrator.
If you forget the password for the computer, you can clear that password so you can gain access to
the information on the computer by resetting the password jumper.
CAUTION: Pushing the CMOS button will reset CMOS values to factory defaults. It is important to
back up the computer CMOS settings before resetting them in case they are needed later. Back up is
easily done through Computer Setup. See
Computer Setup (F10) Utility on page 10 for information on
backing up the CMOS settings.
