SUPERVISOR  PASSWORD  /  USER  PASSWORD

The password entry in these field is different to what was mentioned in page 2-2, page
4-10 and page 4-11. The password setting in the previous pages is used to power on
your PC system, However, the “SUPERVISOR PASSWORD” and “USER
PASSWORD” will be used to check the authority when power-on. Whenever there is
the password stored in either of these fields, the correct password will be requested so
that the PC system will continue to load the operation system.

You can enter up to eight alphanumeric characters here. When you have typed in the
password and pressed the “Enter” key, you will be asked to reconfirm your password
again to complete password setup.  If you press the “Enter” key twice without any
alphanumeric character entered, the PASSWORD will be disabled.

If the “User  Password” and the “Supervisor  Password” are both enabled and they have
different password setup, “Supervisor  Password” is always has the higher priority,
Basically, an “User” is only authorized to change the content of “User Password”, while
a “Supervisor” has the authorization to dominate all settings.
