Supervisor Password and User Password
These two options set the system passwords. “Supervisor Password” sets a
password that will be used to protect the system and the Setup utility; “User
Password” sets a password that will be used exclusively on the system. By default,
the system comes without any passwords. To specify a password, highlight the type
you want and then press . A password prompt appears on the screen. Taking
note that the password is case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters
long, type in your password and then press . The system confirms your
password by asking you to type it again. After setting a password, the screen auto-
matically reverts to the main screen.
To implement password protection, specify in the “Security Option” field of the
BIOS Features Setup screen when the system will prompt for the password. If you
want to disable either password, press instead of entering a new password
when the “Enter Password” prompt appears. A message confirms the password has
been disabled.
NOTE: If you forget the password, see Clear Time Clock (Jumpers) in section III
for procedures on clearing the CMOS.
