Computer Setup setup password
The Computer Setup setup password protects the configuration 
settings and system identification information in Computer Setup. 
After this password is set, it must be entered to access Computer 
Setup and to make changes using Computer Setup.
The setup password
■ Is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator 
password, although both passwords can be identical.
■ Is not displayed as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.
■ Must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a 
setup password set with keyboard number keys will not be 
recognized if you enter it thereafter with embedded numeric 
keypad number keys.
■ Can include any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers 
and is not case sensitive.
