Power-on password
The Computer Setup power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the computer. After this

●
It is not displayed as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.

It must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a power-on password set with
keyboard number keys will not be recognized if you enter it thereafter with embedded numeric
keypad number keys.

It can include any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
