If you want to remove the passwords, either delete passwords or press <Enter> when prompting for new password.
If you want it to require password upon initial system startup and upon entering the CMOS Setup Utility, you will need to
change the selection of the (Security Option) under (BIOS FEATURES SETUP) to "System".
If the setting is "Setup", the system will only require the password you activate CMOS Setup Utility.

3.11 IDE HDD Auto Detection

If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this function to detect its parameters and enter them into the Standard
CMOS Setup automatically.
This routine only detects one set of parameters. If your hard disk is formatted using different parameters than those
detected, you have to enter the parameters manually. If the parameters listed do not match the ones used to format the
disk, the information on that disk will not be accessible. If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match those
that are used for your drive, ignore them. Type N to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually from the
Standard CMOS Setup screen.

3.12 Exit CMOS Setup Utility

Press the <F10> key to save the setup and exit. Press <ESC> key to exit without saving. Either saving or not saving
