BIOS password settings

Hello. I need to set a BIOS password but I do not know which option to choose. Administrator of Pasword or Power-On Pasword. Maybe I wrote wrong but I used Google Translator.

Hi,

At the password screen, hit enter 3 times and you should receive a 'halt code' - post back with this code.

I do not want to reset the password, I want to set the first BIOS password, I just do not know which option to choose

Hi,

The 'Administrator' option prevents unauthorised access to the Bios Settings page.

The 'Power on password' option requires a password to be entered before the machine will boot an operating system.

And how will I want to delete my password in the future? Can you delete the password? Administrator's password

Hi,

You can remove the need for a password as follows.

Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up menu and then select f10 to enter the Bios menu.  Use the arrow keys to highlight the Security tab and hit enter.  Use the arrow keys again to select password field and hit enter.  Enter the current password and then for the new password, just leave this blank and hit enter - do the same for the confirmation field.  Press f10, select to save the new settings and hit enter.
