message changes:

or Setup:
Note: To clear the password, simply press Enter when asked to enter a
password. Then the password function is disabled.
Flash Writer Utility
You can upgrade the BIOS on your motherboard by using the Flash Memory
Writer (FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from website. The system
BIOS is stored on a flash EEPROM chip on the mainboard, which can be
erased and reprogrammed by the FMW. The following three files make up the
FMW:
FLASHV73.EXE The Flash Memory Writer utility for Award to
Award upgrade.
README.TXT
A text file of instructions.
1854v100.BIN*
The new BIOS file.
(*This file name is subject to change and can have either a .bin or .rom extension.)
The FMW records (or programs) a new BIOS onto the flash memory chip. You
cannot upgrade an Award BIOS to an AMI BIOS or vice-versa.
