The Virus Warning option may be set to “enabled” or
“disabled”. When enabled, the BIOS issues a warning
when any program or virus sends a Disk Format com-
mand or attempts to write to the boot sector of the hard
disk drive.
If you choose “System” in the Security Option, you will
be prompted for a password every time you cold boot
your system or access setup. If you choose “Setup”, you
will be prompted for a password only when trying to
access setup.
If you forget your password, you should use the Default
Password "AWARD_SW" to clear any previously set
password. Simply type
AWARD_SW
, press <Enter>
and the password would be disabled.
If the changes you made are incorrect or you change
your mind, press <F6> or <F7> to return to the default
settings. Press <Esc> after making the changes to return
to the main menu.
