If you select and enable
Password at restart,
a password prompt is
displayed when you restart
the computer. If you select
Disabled, no password
prompt is displayed; the
computer goes ahead and
loads the operating system.
To prevent unauthorized
access, set the user
authentication on the
operating system.
Refer to "Power-on
password" on page 44.
Refer to "Hard disk
passwords" on page
44.
If you select Enabled,
all users can update the
UEFI BIOS. If you select
Disabled, only the person
who knows the supervisor
password can update the
UEFI BIOS.
If you select Disabled, you
can flash the older version
UEFI BIOS.
Some computer viruses
and worms cause memory
buffers to overflow by
running code where only
data is allowed. If the
Data Execution Prevention
feature can be used with
your operating system, then
by selecting Enabled you
can protect your computer
against attacks by such
viruses and worms. If after
choosing Enabled you find
that a program does not run
correctly, select Disabled
and reset the setting.
