Handleiding

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

Passwords

● The owner password can be used in place of the administrator, computer, or

storage passwords.

NOTE: The hard drive password must be set on the computer with the

owner password.

Dell Technologies recommends that only computer lessors use the owner

password.

Strong Password The Strong Password feature enforces stricter rules for administrator, owner, and

computer passwords.

When enabled, the following rules are enforced -

●

The minimum length of the password is set to eight characters.

● The password is required to include at least one upper case and one lower

case character.

NOTE: These requirements do not affect the hard drive password.

By default, the Strong Password option is enabled.

For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Strong

Password option enabled as it requires passwords to be more complex.

Password Configuration The Password configuration page includes several options for changing the

requirements of BIOS passwords. You can modify the minimum and maximum

length of the passwords and require passwords to contain certain character

classes (upper case, lower case, digit, special character).

Dell Technologies recommends setting the minimum password length to at least

eight characters.

Password Bypass The Password Bypass option allows the computer to reboot from the operating

system without entering the computer or hard drive password. If the computer

has already booted to the operating system, it is presumed that the user has

already entered the correct computer or hard drive password.

NOTE: This option does not remove the requirement to enter the password

after shutting down.

By default, the Password Bypass option is enabled.

For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Password

Bypass option enabled.

Password Changes

Allow Non-Admin Password Changes The Allow Non-Admin Password Changes option in BIOS setup allows an end

user to set or change the computer or hard drive passwords without entering

the administrator password. This gives an administrator control over the BIOS

settings but enables an end user to provide their own password.

By default, the Allow Non-Admin Password Changes option is disabled.

For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Allow Non-

Admin Password Changes option disabled.

Non-Admin Setup Changes The Non-Admin Setup Changes option allows an end user to configure the

wireless devices without requiring the administrator password.

By default, the Non-Admin Setup Changes option is disabled.

For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Non-Admin

Setup Changes option disabled.

Admin Setup Lockout The Admin Setup Lockout option prevents an end user from even viewing the

BIOS setup configuration without first entering the administrator password (if

set).
