SECURITY OPTIONS
Your system supports a system password for system security.
System Password
The system password protects your data by allowing your
system to boot only after you enter a password.
When a system password is set, you must enter the pass-
word before you can enter Auto Setup. This feature allows
only an authorized user to change system parameters.
You are not prompted to enter a password until you set an
initial password. Your system is not protected until you
enter the initial password.
Use the following procedures to set and use your system
password.
Setting an Initial System Password
Set an initial password as follows.
1. Select the Keyboard option (K) in Auto Setup.
2. Select “System Password” on the Keyboard settings
menu.
3. Select “Enter and Enable.”
4. At the prompt, enter a password up to seven characters
long. Another window appears with a prompt to reenter
your password for verification. Write your password
down and keep it in a secure place in case you forget it.
5. Reenter your password. Auto Setup returns you to the
Keyboard settings menu.
6. Save your changes and return to the initial summary
screen.
