Administrator Password
Use the Administrator Password to set or change a administrator password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again
and press <Enter>. You may also press <ESC> to abort the selection and not
enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter
the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once
the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
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 unauthorized person from
changing any part of your system configuration.
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.
