● The password is required to include at least one upper case and one lower case
character.
NOTE:
These requirements do not affect the hard drive password.
By default, the Strong Password option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Strong Password
option enabled as it requires passwords to be more complex.
The Password configuration page includes several options for changing the
requirements of BIOS passwords. You can modify the minimum and maximum length
of the passwords and require passwords to contain certain character classes (upper
case, lower case, digit, special character).
Dell Technologies recommends setting the minimum password length to at least eight
characters.
The Password Bypass option allows the computer to reboot from the operating
system without entering the computer or hard drive password. If the computer has
already booted to the operating system, it is presumed that the user has already entered
the correct computer or hard drive password.
NOTE:
This option does not remove the requirement to enter the password after
shutting down.
By default, the Password Bypass option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Password Bypass
option enabled.
The Allow Non-Admin Password Changes option in BIOS setup allows an end user to
set or change the computer or hard drive passwords without entering the administrator
password. This gives an administrator control over the BIOS settings but enables an end
user to provide their own password.
By default, the Allow Non-Admin Password Changes option is disabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Allow Non-Admin
Password Changes option disabled.
The Non-Admin Setup Changes option allows an end user to configure the wireless
devices without requiring the administrator password.
By default, the Non-Admin Setup Changes option is disabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Non-Admin Setup
Changes option disabled.
The Admin Setup Lockout option prevents an end user from even viewing the BIOS
setup configuration without first entering the administrator password (if set).
By default, the Admin Setup Lockout option is disabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Admin Setup
Lockout option disabled.
The Recovery Password can be used when a system owner forgets the administrator,
system, or hard drive password. You can get an unlock code from Dell Support over
the phone after verifying ownership details. The unlock code overrides and removes the
existing password.
NOTE:
When a hard drive password is overridden using this method, the data on
the hard drive is erased if secure erase was enabled when setting the password.
