Establishing a p ower-on pass word using work station setup Establishing a powe r-on password through the Computer Setup (F 10) Utility prevents access to the workstation wh en power is connect ed, unless you specify the passwor d. When a pow er-on passwo rd is set, the Computer Setup (F10) Ut ility presents Pas sword Options in the Security menu.
Entering a se tup password If a setup password has been establishe d on the workstation, you will be prompted to enter it each time you run the Comput er Setup (F10) Ut ility. To enter a setu p password: 1. Restart the workstation. 2. As soon as the workstation is po wered on, press and hold F10 until you enter the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
Deleting a power-on or setup passwor d To delete a power-on or setup password: 1. Power on or restart the workstation. 2. Choose from the followi ng: ● To delete the p ower-on password, go to step 4.
Clearing passw ords If you forget the password, you cannot access the workstation. For instructions about cl earing passwords, see Configuring password security and reset ting CMOS on page 201 . Chassis security Side access pan el key lock The side access panel co ntains a key lock to p revent the p anel from being removed.
Setting the Side acces s panel senso r protection level To set the Side access panel sensor protection level: 1. Power on or restart the workstation. 2. As soon as the workstation is po wered on, press a nd hold the F10 key until you ente r the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
