Deleting Or Changing An Existing System And Admin Password

Ensure that the Password Status is Unlocked (in the System Setup) before attempting to delete or change the existing System and/or admin password. You cannot delete or change an existing System or admin password, if the Password Status is Locked.
To enter System Setup, press <F2> immediately after a power-on or reboot.
  1. In the System BIOS or System Setup screen, select Security and press <Enter>. The Security screen is displayed.
  2. Select System Password, alter or delete the existing system password and press <Enter> or <Tab>.
  3. Select Admin Password, alter or delete the existing admin password and press <Enter> or <Tab>.
    • NOTE: If you change the system and/or admin password, re-enter the new password when promoted. If you delete the system and/or admin password, confirm the deletion when promoted.
  4. Press <Esc> and a message prompts you to save the changes.
  5. Press <Y> to save the changes and exit from the System Setup. The system reboots.
