Table 13. BIOS Setup options—Passwords menu(continued)

Passwords

● When set, the administrator password must be provided during a firmware

update.

● Clearing the administrator password also clears the computer password (if

set).

Dell Technologies recommends using an administrator password to prevent

unauthorized changes to BIOS setup options.

System Password The System Password prevents the computer from booting to an operating

system without entering the correct password.

The following rules and dependencies apply when the System Password is used -

●

The computer shuts down when idle for approximately 10 minutes at the

computer password prompt.

● The computer shuts down after three incorrect attempts to enter the

computer password.

● The computer shuts down when the Esc key is pressed at the System

Password prompt.

● The computer password is not prompted when the computer resumes from

standby mode.

Dell Technologies recommends using the computer password in situations where

it is likely that a computer may be lost or stolen.

Hard Drive Password The Hard Drive Password can be set to prevent unauthorized access of the data

stored on the hard drive. The computer prompts for the hard drive password

during boot in order to unlock the drive. A password-secured hard drive stays

locked even when removed from the computer or placed into another computer.

It prevents an attacker from accessing data on the drive without authorization.

The following rules and dependencies apply when the Hard Drive Password is

used -

● The hard drive password option cannot be accessed when a hard drive is

disabled in the BIOS setup.

● The computer shuts down when idle for approximately 10 minutes at the hard

drive password prompt.

● The computer shuts down after three incorrect attempts to enter the hard

drive password and treats the hard drive as not available.

● The hard drive does not accept password unlock attempts after five incorrect

attempts to enter the hard drive password from the BIOS Setup. The hard

drive password must be reset for the new password unlock attempts.

● The computer treats the hard drive as not available when the Esc key is

pressed at the hard drive password prompt.

● The hard drive password is not prompted when the computer resumes from

standby mode. When the hard drive is unlocked by the user before the

computer goes into standby mode, it remains unlocked after the computer

resumes from standby mode.

● If the computer and hard drive passwords are set to the same value, the hard

drive unlocks after the correct computer password is entered.

Dell Technologies recommends using a hard drive password to protect

unauthorized data access.

Owner Password

The Owner Password is typically used when a computer is loaned or leased,

and the end user sets their own computer or hard drive password. The Owner

Password can provide override access to unlock the computer when it is

returned. The Owner Password cannot be set using BIOS Setup. System lessors

are given a tool which enables them to configure the Owner Password.

The following rules and dependencies apply when the Owner Password is used -

● The owner password cannot be set when the administrator password is

already set.
