Set User Password (Security Menu)
You can set a password for user mode access to the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility.
This will not affect access to the computer OS, (only the Setup utility) unless you
choose to set a Password on Boot (see below). Many menu items in the Phoenix-
BIOS Setup Utility cannot be modified in user mode. You can only set the user
password after you have set the supervisor password.
Password on boot: (Security Menu)
Specify whether or not a password should be entered to boot the computer (you may
only set a password on boot if a supervisor password is enabled). If “Enabled”
is selected, only users who enter a correct password can boot the system (see the
warning in the sidebar). The default setting is “Disabled”.
Note: To clear existing passwords press Enter and type the existing password, then
press Enter for the new password (without typing any password entry) and Enter
again to confirm the password clearance.
Password Warning
If you set a boot pass-
word (Password on boot
is “Enabled“), NEVER
forget your password.
The consequences of
this could be serious. If
you cannot remember
your boot password you
must contact your ven-
dor and you may lose all
of the information on
your hard disk.
