Set Change Administrator Password to enter and change the options of
the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will
appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
Enter New Password:
Type the password, up to six 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.
With a password created, a Password Check item appears. Set this item to
Setup , you will be prompted to enter the password every time you try to enter
the BIOS Setup utility. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing
any part of your system configuration.
You can also have the BIOS to request a password every time your system
is rebooted by setting it to Always . This would prevent unauthorized use of
your computer.
To clear the password, just leave the field blank and press <Enter> when you
are prompted to enter a new password. Once the password is cleared, the
following message will appear at the center of the screen.
