Setting The Password - Sharp Actius PC-MC22 Operation Manual

Passwords
Setting a password will protect the computer against unauthorized access. Once a
password is set, the system requires the password when entering to the Setup Utility.
If the Password on boot is enabled, the system will require the created password when
the computer is turned on.
• If you enter a wrong password three times, the message "System
Disabled" appears. Press the power button to shut down the computer,
and after 10 seconds, press the power button to turn it on again.
• If the Password On Boot is disabled, the password entry will be
needed to enter the Setup Utility.
Your computer supports two different levels of password security: a supervisor
password and a user password. A user password is available to be set with a
supervisor password set. If you share the computer with others we recommend that
you set both supervisor and user passwords, and let others know the user password
only.

Setting the Password

If not necessary, do not set the supervisor password or user password. If
you forget the password, you cannot boot the computer.
The user password can change the following items:
• System Time
• System Date
• Resolution Expansion
• Set User Password
• Battery Calibration
• Exit Saving Changes
• Exit Discarding Changes
• Save Changes
1. In the Security menu of the Setup Utility, select Set Supervisor Password or Set
User Password and press Enter.
2. Type your password (up to eight letters, figures, or the combinations), and press
Enter.
3. Type the same password again, and press Enter.
4. Press Enter.
