3.13 Set Supervisor/User Password
You can set either SUPERVISOR or USER PASSWORD, or both of
them. The difference between the two is that the supervisor password
allows unrestricted access to enter and change the options of the setup
menus, while the user password only allows entry to the program, but
not modify options.
To abort the process at any time, press Esc.
In the Security Option item in the BIOS Features Setup screen, select
System or Setup:
System Enter a password each time the system boots and when-
ever you enter Setup.
Setup Enter a password whenever you enter Setup.
NOTE: To clear the password, simply press Enter when asked to enter a
password. Then the password function is disabled.
3.14 Save & Exit Setup
If you select this option and press <Enter>, the values entered in the
setup utilities will be recorded in the chipset’s CMOS memory. The
microprocessor will check this every time you turn on your system and
compare this to what it finds as it checks the system. This record is
required for the system to operate.
3.15 Exit without saving
Selecting this option and pressing <Enter> lets you exit the Setup
program without recording any new values or changing old ones.
