SET SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences

are:

Supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup

menus.

User password :

Can only enter but do not have the right to change

the options of the setup menus. When you select

this function, the following message will appear at

the center of the screen to assist you in creating a

password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press . The

password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS

memor y. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again

and press . You may also press to abor t the selection and not

enter a password.

To disable a password, just press when you are prompted to enter the

password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the

password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every

time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from

changing any par t of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to

request a password ever y time your system is rebooted. This would prevent

unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup

Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “Sys-tem”, the

password will be required both at boot and at entr y to Setup. If set to “Setup”,

prompting only occurs when tr ying to enter Setup.
