A Note about Passwords

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Security menu. The passwords
control access to the BIOS and certain Security menu options during system startup. The pass-
words 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 password. 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 Security menu options.
