4.13 Set Supervisor/User Password
You can set a supervisor or user password, or both of them.
The differences between them are:
1 Supervisor password: You can enter and change the
options on the setup menu.
2 User password: You can just enter, but have no right to
change the options on the setup menu.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at
the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type a maximum eight-character password, and press <Enter>. This
typed password will clear previously entered password from the
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm this password. Type this
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to
abort this selection and not enter a password.
To disable the password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted
to enter a password. A message will confirm the password is getting
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you
can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you
enter the Setup. It prevents any unauthorized persons from changing
your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time the system reboots. This
would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You decide when the password is required for the BIOS Features
Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to
“System”, the password is required during booting up and entry into
the Setup; if it is set as “Setup”, a prompt will only appear before
entering the Setup.
