AMIBIOS Password Support
AMIBIOS Setup has an optional password
feature. The system can be configured so
the end user must enter a password every
time the system boots or when Setup is
run.
Changing a Password
The password check option is enabled or in
ADVANCED CMOS SETUP (Page 76).
The password (1-6 characters) is stored in
CMOS RAM. To change a password, select the
Change Password option from the main Setup
screen and press <Enter>. The following
prompt appears.
Enter CURRENT Password:
The first time this option is selected,
the end user must enter a password and
press <Enter>. The screen does not display
the characters entered. After the current
password has been correctly entered, the
end user is asked to retype the new
password and press <Enter>.
If the password confirmation is incorrect,
an error message appears. If the new
password is entered without error, the end
user can press <Esc> to return to the Main
Setup menu.
