Setting the Boot Password

This process is to set a password so that other people cannot use the computer or change the settings.

The user can set a password while booting the system or setting up the system.

The model in the example can differ from actual models and is subject to change for performance improvements, without prior notice.

Caution:

Without the registered password, access to the system will be denied. Write down and keep the password in a safe place.

Set Supervisor Password

The password prevents unauthorised people from accessing the PC. By default, no password is set for the machine. If an unauthorised person changes the password in the System Setup, you will be unable to access the system.

Tip:

With [Set Supervisor Password], you are authorised to set all items in the System Setup and to set [Power on Password]. In case other people also use the computer, it is recommended to set the [Set User Password].

Reboot the system and press [F2] multiple times.
When the System Setup screen appears, go to [Security] > [Set Supervisor Password] using the arrow keys and press the [Enter] key.
When the Password Setting screen appears, enter a password and press the [Enter] key.

The password should not exceed 20 characters and should consist of English letters (A - Z), numbers (0 - 9), and special characters or a combination of them.
Enter the password once more and press the [Enter] key.
To save the changes in system setup, press [F10]. When a pop-up window appears, select [Yes] and press the [Enter] key.
The PC will restart.

Set User Password

The password set in [Set User Password] is of a lower level than the one set in [Set Supervisor Password], so you can set a user password only after setting a password in [Set Supervisor Password].

Tip:

[Set User Password] allows limited access to the items in the System Setup screen compared to the [Set Supervisor Password] items.

Execute the System Setup screen, go to [Security] > [Set User Password] using the arrow keys and press the [Enter] key.
When the Password Setting screen appears, enter a password and press the [Enter] key.

The password should not exceed 20 characters and should consist of English letters (A - Z), numbers (0 - 9), and special characters or a combination of them.
Enter the password once more and press the [Enter] key.
To save the changes in system setup, press [F10]. When a pop-up window appears, select [Yes] and press the [Enter] key.
The PC will restart.

Power on Password

[Power on Password] protects your system by requiring during booting to enter the password set in [Set Supervisor Password] or [Set User Password].

To set [Power on Password], you first need to set [Set Supervisor Password] or set both [Set Supervisor Password] and [Set User Password].

Execute the System Setup screen, go to [Security] > [Power on Password] using the arrow keys and press the [Enter] key.
Select [Enabled] and press the [Enter] key to complete the [Power on Password] setting.

Set PCIE SSD Password

[Set PCIE SSD Password] is to set the password directly on the storage device separately from [Set Supervisor Password].

Tip:

Some models with built-in PCIE SSD may not support the password setting function.
For the models equipped with two storage devices, you can set a password for each device. If passwords are set for both devices, the password input window appears twice during the booting process. The order in which the password input windows appears is according to the [Boot Type Order] of the [Boot] menu.
For the models equipped with two storage devices, the menu names are shown as PCIE SSD1, PCIE SSD2, etc.

Caution:

If you lose the password for a storage device, you cannot recover the storage device.

Please note that replacement of a storage device due to the loss of the password of the storage device is excluded from the product warranty.

Execute the System Setup screen, go to [Security] > [Set PCIE SSD1 Password] using the arrow keys and press the [Enter] key.
When the Password Setting screen appears, enter a password and press the [Enter] key.

The password should not exceed 32 characters and should consist of English letters (A - Z), numbers (0 - 9), and special characters or a combination of them.
Enter the password once more and press the [Enter] key.
To save the changes in system setup, press [F10]. When a pop-up window appears, select [Yes] and press the [Enter] key.
The PC will restart.
