3.1.10 User Password
If you want another user to have access only to your system but not
to setup, set a users password with the System option selected in
the BIOS Features Setup. If you want a user to enter a password when
trying to access setup, set a users password with the Setup option
selected in the BIOS Features Setup.
Using users password to enter Setup allows a user to access only the
User Password option that appears on the main screen. Access to
all other options is denied. To set, confirm, verify, disable or delete a
users password, follow the procedures described in the section
Supervisor Password. If you forget your password, refer to the
procedure described in the same section.
