The end user must enter the current password and press <Enter>
and is then prompted for a new password. After the new password is
entered, the end user is asked to retype the new password and press
<Enter>.
The next time the system boots (if Always was set in Advanced
CMOS Setup) or Setup is executed (if Setup is chosen in Advanced
CMOS Setup), he is prompted for the password.

The end user must enter the new password when the password
prompt appears and then press <Enter>. The end user should use the
default password if CMOS RAM is corrupted. The end user should
keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If
he forgets the password and password protection is enabled, the only
way to boot the system is to disable CMOS RAM by removing the
battery for at least 20 minutes, replacing it, rebooting, and
reconfiguring the system.
