Overview of BIOS Features

• Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password
prompt will be displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor
password is set, the computer boots without asking for a password. If both
passwords are set, the user can enter either password to boot the computer.
• For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user
passwords.
• Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to
19 characters in length.
Table 40 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This
table is for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
