Using Computer Setup stringent security

CAUTION: To prevent the computer from becoming permanently unusable, record your

configured setup password, power-on password, or smart card PIN in a safe place away from

your computer. Without these passwords or PIN, the computer cannot be unlocked.

The stringent security feature enhances power-on security by forcing user authentication with your

configured setup password, power-on password, or smart card PIN before granting access to the

system.
