You may find it helpful to use the same password for a Setup Utility (BIOS) feature and for a Windows

security feature.

Use the following tips for creating and saving passwords:

●

To reduce the risk of being locked out of the computer, record each password and store it in a

secure place away from the computer. Do not store passwords in a file on the computer.

●

When creating passwords, follow requirements set by the program.

●

Change your passwords at least every three months.

●

An ideal password is long and has letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers.

●

Before you send your computer for service, back up your files, delete confidential files, and then

remove all password settings.
