Exiting from the Configuration/Setup Utility program

Using passwords
You can use passwords to provide security for your computer and data. There
are two kinds of passwords: a power-on password and an administrator
password. You do not have to set a password of either type to use your
computer. However, if you decide to set either one, read the following sections.
Power-on password
The power-on password feature deters unauthorized persons from gaining
access to your computer.
Administrator password
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons from changing
configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of
several computers, you might want to set an administrator password.
