• The system administrator can set the same supervisor password on many ThinkPad notebooks to make<br />
administration easier.<br />
• By enabling the Lock UEFI BIOS Settings in the Password menu when you set the supervisor password,<br />
you make it impossible for anyone but you to make changes.<br />
