UEFI BIOS Passwords

The Lenovo K14 Gen 1 supports several firmware password types designed to restrict access to the computer, BIOS settings, or stored data.

Available BIOS Password Types

BIOS passwords are not requested when the computer resumes from sleep mode.

Power-On Password

When a power-on password is configured, the notebook displays a password prompt during startup.

The correct password must be entered to use the computer.

If both a supervisor password and a power-on password are configured, the supervisor password can also provide access during startup.

Supervisor Password

The supervisor password protects BIOS configuration settings.

A person can skip the supervisor password prompt by pressing Enter, but most protected BIOS configuration options will not be available for modification.

System Management Password

The system management password provides administrative protection with lower authority than the supervisor password by default.

It can be configured through UEFI BIOS or through supported Windows Management Instrumentation tools using Lenovo’s client-management interface.

To configure its access authority:

1. Restart the computer.
2. Press F1 at the logo screen.
3. Open Security > Password > System Management Password Access Control.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

The supervisor password overrides the system management password. The system management password overrides the power-on password when both are configured.

Hard Disk Password

The hard disk password restricts access to information stored on the internal storage device.

Two configurations are supported:

• User hard disk password only: The user must enter the password to access the storage device.
• Master and user hard disk passwords: A system administrator controls the master password and can assign user passwords.

At the hard disk password prompt, F1 switches between the master and user password options.

Hard disk password functionality is unavailable in certain configurations using activated TCG Opal management software or an eDrive installed with Windows.

Setting, Changing, or Removing a BIOS Password

1. Restart the computer.
2. Press F1 at the logo screen.
3. Open Security > Password.
