Password on warm boot
Setting up Precision 7740 from dellrefurbished. A nice solid machine, but a question-
Trying to delete the password requirement on warm boot via BIOS. Cold boot deleted successfully, but cannot delete warm boot requirement. Recent critical BIOS update successfully downloaded and installed.
BIOS settings as follows:
Security>system password- Not set
>UEFI Boot Path Security- Never
>Password bypass - Reboot bypass
This machine now runs Linux Mint Mate 22 instead of Windows 10 as delivered. In Main menu> login window, the OS is set to automatic login, no p/w required.
We also have a Dell Optiplex 5060, running Linux Mint Mate 20.3, same BIOS and menu login settings, and the p/w is not needed for either cold or warm boot. As a secure private residence, this security step is not needed. I have searched Dell support, which is most comprehensive, but cannot find the answer. Can you please point me toward the appropriate support doc?
