Password Options Control Prompt
When and if the prompt appears is dependent upon the options
chosen in Advanced CMOS Setup. If
Always was set in
Advanced CMOS Setup, the prompt will appear each time the
system is powered on. If
Setup was set in Advanced CMOS
Setup, the prompt will not appear when the system is powered
on, but will appear each time Setup is run. If
Disabled was set
in Advanced CMOS Setup, the password prompt will never
appear.
Using a 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 the end user 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.
