Phoenix-Award BIOS Utility 44
3.13 Set Supervisor/User Password
You can set a supervisor or user password, or both of them. The
differences between them are:
1. Supervisor password: You can enter and change the options on
the setup menu.
2. User password: You can just enter, but have no right to change
the options on the setup menu.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type a maximum eight-character password, and press . This
typed password will clear previously entered password from the CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm this password. Type this
password again and press . You may also press to abort
this selection and not enter a password.
To disable the password, just press when you are prompted to
enter a password. A message will confirm the password is getting
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you
can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you enter
the Setup. It prevents any unauthorized persons from changing your
system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time the system reboots. This would
prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You decide when the password is required for the BIOS Features Setup
Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”,
the password is required during booting up and entry into the Setup; if it
is set as “Setup”, a prompt will only appear before entering the Setup.
