Security Settings
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 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” password. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions. When en-
abled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS Setup program and having full access
to all Security menu options.
Change Supervisor Password / Change User Password
The system password protects the BIOS settings. When “Enabled”, you will be prompted for a pass-
word after you press [F2] to enter BIOS setup.
To set a password: Select “Change ... Password” and press [Enter], type a password (up to 8 letters/
numbers) and press [Enter], type the same password again and press [Enter] to confirm. (You can type
up to eight alphanumeric characters. Symbols and other keys are ignored.)
