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. Passwords are not case
sensitive, meaning, it makes no difference whether you the password using uppercase
or lowercase letters. The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two different
passwords: a Supervisor password and a User password. If you did not set a Supervisor
password, anyone can access the BIOS Setup program. If you did, the Supervisor
password is required to enter the BIOS Setup program and to gain full access to the
configuration fields.

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Remove the jumper cap from pins 1-2, and place it over pins 2-3 (Clear
RTC) for a few seconds to short the jumper.
