Abstract
A BIOS settings configuration may be stored in BIOS of a computer system. A default BIOS status may be set as a locked state. The BIOS status can be changed from the locked state to an unlocked state when an authentication request is received and when the received authentication information matches stored authentication information in BIOS. In some embodiments, a BIOS settings change request can be received. The BIOS settings can be modified based on the BIOS settings change request. The BIOS status can be changed back to the locked state after the BIOS settings modification has been made.
