A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The
passwords control access to the BIOS during system startup. The passwords are
not case sensitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether you enter a
password using upper or lowercase letters. The BIOS Setup program allows you
to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor password and a User pass-
word. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions.
When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS Setup
program and having full access to all configuration fields.
Forgot the Password?
If you forgot the password, you can clear the password by erasing the CMOS Real
Time Clock (RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is
powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) Unplug
your computer, (2) Short the solder points, (3) Turn ON your computer, (4) Hold
down during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
