Setting the Password

This process is to set a password so that other people cannot use the PC 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 unauthorized people from accessing the PC. By default, no password is set for the machine. If an unauthorized person changes the password in the System Setup, you will be unable to access the system.

After opening the system setup screen, use the arrow keys to move to [Security].
When the Security item appears, select [Set Supervisor Password] using the arrow keys, and then press the [Enter] key.
When the Set Supervisor Password setting screen appears, enter the password and press the [Enter] key. The password should not exceed 12 characters and should consist of English letters (A - Z), numbers (0 - 9), and special characters or a combination of them.
When the Notice screen appears, press the [Enter] key.
To save the changes in the system setup, press [F10].
When the Setup Confirmation screen appears, check [Yes] and press the [Enter] key. The PC will restart.

Tip:

With Supervisor Password, you are authorized to set all items in the System Setup and to set Password on boot. In case other people also use the PC, it is recommended to set the Set User Password.

Set User Password

The password set by the Set User Password process is lower in level than that set by the [Set Supervisor Password] process, and so the user can use the [Set User Password] only after setting a password in the [Set Supervisor Password] menu.

After opening the system setup screen, use the arrow keys to move to [Security].
When the Security item appears, press the [Enter] button in the [Set User Password] menu.
When the Set User Password setting screen appears, enter the password and press the [Enter] key. The password should not exceed 12 characters and should consist of English letters (A - Z), numbers (0 - 9), and special characters or a combination of them.
When the Notice screen appears, press the [Enter] key.
To save the changes in the system setup, press [F10].
When the Setup Confirmation screen appears, check [Yes] and press the [Enter] key. The PC will restart.

Tip:

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

Password on boot

Password on boot protects the system by requesting [Set Supervisor Password] or [Set User Password] during boot up.

After opening the system setup screen, use the arrow keys to move to [Security].
When the Security item appears, set a password for [Set Supervisor Password] or passwords for both [Set Supervisor Password] and [Set User Password].
The popup screen will show up, after selecting [Password on boot] and press [Enter]. After selecting [Enabled] and press [Enter], [Password on boot] will be complete.

Set NVMe™ Password / SSD Password

Tip:

Some models installed with NVMe™ may not support the password settings.

Depending on the model, the menu name may be displayed as NVMe™ Password, SSD Password, etc.

For models equipped with two NVMe™ devices installed, the menu names are displayed as NVMe™1, NVMe™2, and if NVMe™ and SSD are installed, they are displayed as NVMe™1, SSD01, etc.

For models with two NVMe™ or SSD devices, you can set a password for each device. If you set passwords for both, the password input window will appear twice during booting.

The password input windows appear according to the [Boot Priority order] in the [Boot] menu.

After opening the system setup screen, use the arrow keys to move to [Security].
When the Security item appears, select [Set NVME1 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 12 characters and should consist of English letters (A - Z), numbers (0 - 9), and special characters or a combination of them.
When the Notice screen appears, press the [Enter] key.
To save the changes in the system setup, press [F10].
When the Setup Confirmation screen appears, check [Yes] and press the [Enter] key. The PC will restart.

Caution:

If you forgot NVMe™ Password/SSD Password, you cannot restore the NVMe™/SSD.

The replacement of NVMe™/SSD due to a forgotten NVMe™ Password/SSD Password is not covered by warranty.
