A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The pass-
words control access to the BIOS during system startup. The passwords are not case sen-
sitive. 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 configuration fields.
Forgot the Password?
If you forgot the password, you can clear the password by erasing the CMOS Real
Time Clock (RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is
powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) Unplug
your computer, (2) Short the solder points, (3) Turn ON your computer, (4) Hold
down
