Security Measures
To prevent unauthorized access of your computer, the various security measures are provided below.
Situation
You do not want your computer to be used without permission
You do not want the data on the hard disk to be read, or data to
be written to the hard disk, in cases including theft.
You want to prevent theft or damage to data by using a floppy
disk
You want to prevent theft of your computer
When you do not want your computer to be used without permission
You should set your "Supervisor Password" and "User Password" (The User Password
can only be set when the Supervisor Password has been set).
Without the password, access to your computer is impossible.
When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to
the hard disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is
also set for the hard disk. When the hard disk is returned to the original computer, you
can read and write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the Setup
Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed.
(The Hard Disk Lock can only be set when the Supervisor Password has been set.)
It is possible to set the Hard Disk Lock without setting the User Password, but we rec-
ommend that you set the User Password for security reasons.
(Note that this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee complete protection of data.)
Starting up when the password is set
Upon entering your Supervisor
Password or User Password and
pressing Enter .
If the correct password is input,
Over three incorrect attempts,
or no password is entered for about a minute,
*
If you are starting from the suspend or hiberna-
tion mode, if after three attempts the correct pass-
word is not input, or if no password is entered for
about a minute, the computer returns to the sus-
pend or hibernation mode.
If entering the Setup Utility with Supervisor Password
You can register all items of the Setup Utility (
If entering the Setup Utility with User Password
You can not register [Advanced] menu.
When [User Password Protection] has been set to [Protected], you can not regis-
ter the User Password.
When [User Password Protection] has been set to [No Protection], you can regis-
ter the User Password. (
F9 does not work.
NOTE
When only the Supervisor Password has been set, the password is not necessary
when the computer is started up, but the password becomes necessary when the
Setup Utility is started up. This alternative makes it possible to prevent the contents
of the Setup Utility from being changed.
