When you turn on the power, a series of instructions are executed inside your PC to initiate devices, locate a boot device, and look for a program called bootloader. The bootloader will then find the operating system installed on your PC and hand over control to it. When the operating system is started, your PC is ready for use.
These instructions are stored on a Flash chip on the PC's system board. The Flash chip and the instructions stored on it are referred to as the PC's firmware (UEFI/BIOS).
Lenovo PCs typically include a setup utility in the firmware that allows you to:
This section introduces the types of passwords that you can set in the firmware setup utility.
You can set various types of passwords in the firmware setup utility.
| Password type | Pre-requisite | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Administrator password | No | You must enter it to start the setup utility. |
| User password | The administrator password must be set. | You can use the user password to start the setup utility. |
| Master hard disk password | No | You must enter it to start the operating system. |
| User hard disk password | The master hard disk password must be set. | You can use the user hard disk password to start the operating system. |
You set the administrator password to prevent unauthorized access to the firmware setup utility.
Next time you start the computer, you must enter the administrator password to open the setup utility. If Power on Password is enabled, you must enter the administrator password or the user password to start the computer.
Only the administrator can change or remove the administrator password.
If you remove the administrator password, the user password is also removed.
You must set the administrator password before you can set the user password.
The administrator of the setup utility might need to set a user password for use by others.
If the administrator password has been set, you can enable power-on password to enforce greater security.
If power-on password is enabled, a prompt appears on the screen every time you turn on the computer. You must enter the administrator or user password to start the computer.
Permanent data is stored on secondary storage devices. Your computer may include one or more solid-state drive or hard disk drive as secondary storage device(s). You can set passwords for secondary storage devices in the setup utility to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
If the hard disk password is set, you must provide the correct password to start the operating system.
Change or remove the hard disk password.
To change or remove master password, select Change Master Password and press enter.
To change user password, select Change User Password and press enter.

In BIOS, you can enable the Acoustic and Sound sync function. Lenovo AI Core can calculate the real sound energy with the algorithms and then dynamically improve the system performance.
In BIOS, you can enable the Smart SSD function. The chip monitors the SSD and CPU usage in real time and switch SSD operating mode, adapting to different scenarios intelligently.
In Legion Space, you can set the computer to operate in different GPU working modes.
Hybrid Mode is the no-brainer choice. The system dynamically switches the active graphics card, striking a balance between graphics performance and power consumption.
If your current task is confined to casual web browsing and word processing, consider switching to Hybrid-iGPU Only Mode. This not only saves power but also creates a "quiet" work environment.
In DGPU Only Mode, all graphics-related tasks go to the discrete graphics card, generating the best possible graphics performance.
Switches the screen's refresh rate.
