If you want to protect your system and setup from unauthorized entry, set a
supervisor’s password with the “System” option selected in the Advanced BIOS
Features. If you want to protect access to setup only, but not your system, set
a supervisor’s password with the “Setup” option selected in the Advanced BIOS
Features. You will not be prompted for a password when you cold boot the sys-
tem.
Use the arrow keys to highlight “Set Supervisor Password” and press <Enter>.
Type in the password. You are limited to eight characters. When done, the mes-

You are asked to verify the password. Type in exactly the same password. If you
type in a wrong password, you will be prompted to enter the correct password
again. To delete or disable the password function, highlight “Set Supervisor Pass-
word” and press <Enter>, instead of typing in a new password. Press the <Esc>
key to return to the main menu.
