Security Screen (Tab)
The Security screen allows the user to enable and set the Administrator and User passwords and to lock
out the front panel buttons so they cannot be used. This screen also allows the user to enable and activate
the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security settings on those boards that support TPM.
Note that it is necessary to activate the TPM in order be able to enable Intel
®
Trusted Execution
Technology (TXT) on boards that support it. Changing the TPM state in Setup will require a Hard Reset
for the new state to become effective. For enabling Intel
®
TXT, see the Processor Configuration screen.
This BIOS supports (but does not require) “Strong Passwords” for security. The “Strong Password”
criteria for both Administrator and User passwords require that passwords be between 8 and 14 characters
in length, and a password must contain at least one case-sensitive alphabetic character, one numeric
character, and one special character. A warning is given when a password is set which does not meet the
Strong Password criteria, but the password is accepted.
For further security, the BIOS optionally may require a Power on Password to be entered in early POST
in order to boot the system. When Power On Password is enabled, POST is halted soon after power on
while the BIOS queries for a Power On Password. Either the Administrator or the User password may
entered for a Power on Password.
To access this screen from the Main screen or other top-level “Tab” screen, press the right or left arrow
keys to traverse the tabs at the top of the Setup screen until the Security screen is selected.
