key icon appears on the monitor. When Password Prompt on Warm Boot is enabled, you must enter the
password. The password must also be entered each time the computer is restarted. When Network Server
Mode is enabled, the password prompt is not presented during POST.

(F10) Utility.
If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer, and then repeatedly
press F10 to access the utility.
3. Select Security > Power-On Password, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
4. Before exiting, select File > Save Changes and Exit.
