What is a Supervisor Password?
The Supervisor Password (sometimes referred to as an Administrator Password) helps protect system setup information. This password secures the system’s BIOS settings (Easy Setup), prohibits hardware modification, and stops the computer after a POST error to restrict access to system information. This password will usually remain undetected until BIOS access is attempted or there is a hardware change. This password prompt will appear (usually an image of a lock with a disk beside it) on startup, after a change has been made or if access to the BIOS settings is attempted. Please note that in some cases, a Supervisor Password automatically activates the Hard Disk Password when set by the user. Both passwords are inaccessible to the user and cannot be removed without knowing them. We can remove them with the option of full hard disk Data Recovery. Please visit our Supervisor Password Removal Page for available options.
