You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences between are:
Feature Description
Set supervisor password You can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
Set user password
Just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup
menus. When you select this unction, the following message will appear at the center
of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
Password on boot The setting whether or not it needs password input in system boot.
Fixed disk boot sector The write protection setting for the boot sector for hard disk protection from virus.
Diskette access Protection of password setting of the access for the floppy disk.
Clear all password It can eliminate all password by the supervisor.
NOTE:
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 this board.
CAUTION
Once a password is registered, even the password function itself cannot be cancelled without the
password. Passwords should be handled with great care.
