Windows ME / 98SE / 2000 / XP, suspend mode and settings are determined by

settings in the Power Options Properties (Start > Control Panel > Power Options).


Using Password Protection

Two Levels of Password Protection are available. The BIOS

provides both a Supervisor and a User password. If you try to

activate both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set

first.

The passwords activate two different levels of protection:

1. System always asks for password every time it is powered

on.

2. System asks for password only when you attempt to enter

BIOS utility.

Have the Password Check item set in Advanced CMOS Setup

Menu (See previous section Advanced CMOS Setup). The

passwords are encrypted and stored in NVRAM. Make sure

you write them down or memorize them. If you lost the

passwords, the computer may need to be sent back to the

factory or to an authorized service dealer to reset the

passwords.

Auto-Detect Hard Disk

When selecting this option, AMIBIOS will automatically detect

the hard disk drive parameters. The Standard CMOS Setup

menu shows the drive parameters.
