Chapter 2 AMIBIOS Setup

Section 7 Security Setup
AMIBIOS Password Support
Two Levels of Password Protection
AMIBIOS provides both a Supervisor and a User password. If you use
both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set first.
The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the
system boots or when AMIBIOS Setup is executed, using either or both the Supervisor
password or User password.
The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different levels of password security.
If you select password support, you are prompted for a 1 – 6 character password. Type
the password on the keyboard. The password does not appear on the screen when typed.
Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you must drain NVRAM and reconfigure.
Remember the Password
Keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If you forget
the password, you must erase the system configuration information in NVRAM. See
Chapter 4 Deleting a Password for information about erasing system configuration
information.
