Password types
You can set a power-on password, supervisor password, system management password, or NVMe password in UEFI BIOS to prevent unauthorized access to your computer. However, you are not prompted to enter any UEFI BIOS password when your computer resumes from sleep mode.
Set, change, and remove a password
Before you start, print these instructions.
- Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 to enter the UEFI BIOS menu.
- Select Security ➙ Password by using the arrow keys.
- Select the password type. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to set, change, or remove a password.
You should record all your passwords and store them in a safe place. If you forget any of your passwords, any potential repair actions required are not covered under warranty.
Associate your fingerprints with passwords (for selected models)
Do the following to associate your fingerprints with the power-on password and NVMe password:
- Turn off and then turn on the computer.
- When prompted, scan your finger on the fingerprint reader.
- Enter your power-on password, NVMe password, or both as required. The association is established.
When you start the computer again, you can use your fingerprints to log in to the computer without entering your Windows password, power-on password, or NVMe password. To change settings, press F1 to enter the UEFI BIOS menu, and then select Security ➙ Fingerprint.
Attention: If you always use your fingerprint to log in to the computer, you might forget your passwords. Write down your passwords, and keep them in a safe place.
