Lenovo G460e/G560e Hardware Maintenance Manual

When you use the recovery discs to boot your computer, the system will enter

the user interface for system recovery automatically. Please follow the prompt to

insert the backup discs to complete the whole recovery process.

As many as two passwords may be needed for any Lenovo computer: the power-

on password (POP) and the supervisor password (SVP).

If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen

whenever the computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the

password is entered.

Exception: If only an SVP is installed, the password prompt does not appear

when the operating system is booted.

Power-on password

A power-on password (POP) protects the system from being powered on by an

unauthorized person. The password must be entered before an operating system

can be booted.

Supervisor password

A supervisor password (SVP) protects the system information stored in the BIOS

Setup Utility. The user must enter the SVP in order to get access to the BIOS

Setup Utility and change the system configuration.

Attention: If the SVP has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the

servicer, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board

must be replaced for a scheduled fee.

Note: The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.
