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 PhoenixBIOS Setup Util-
ity). Many menu items in the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility utility cannot be modified
in user mode. You can only set the user password after you have set the supervisor
password.
Password Check (Security Menu)
Specify here when the system should prompt for a password. If the item is set to
“Setup” then the password prompt will only appear when you attempt to access the
PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility. If you set the item to “Always” the password prompt
will appear when the computer boots up.
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.
Boot Sector Virus Protection (Security Menu)
If you choose “Enable” this will protect against viruses being written to the hard
disk boot sector (this is not a substitute for installing an anti-virus program - see
“Vi-
ruses” on page 8 - 4 ).
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.
