PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to
enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unau-
thorized person from changing any part of your system configura-
tion.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted.
This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS
Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see section 3). If the
Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required
both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only
occurs when trying to enter Setup.
3.15 Exit Selecting
Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS –
a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your sys-
tem off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS config-
ures your system according to the Setup selections stored in
CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change.
The previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility
and restarts your computer.
