4.10. Load Optimized Defaults Option
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for
all appropriate items in the whole Setup Utility.
Press the <Y> key and then <Enter> to install the defaults.
Press the <N> key and then <Enter> to not install the defaults.
The optimized defaults place demands on the system that may be greater
than the performance level of the components, such as the CPU and the
memory. You can cause fatal errors or instability if you install the optimized
defaults when your hardware does not support them. If you only want to in-
stall setup defaults for a specific option, select and display that option, and
then press the <F7> key.
4.11. Set Supervisor/User Password
The “ Set Supervisor/User Password” utilities set the passwords.
The mainboard is shipped with the password disabled. If you want to
change the password, you must first enter the current password, then at the
prompt enter your new password. The password is case sensitive. You can
use up to eight alphanumeric characters.
Press <Enter> after entering the password. At the next prompt, confirm
the new password by retyping it and pressing <Enter> again.
To disable the password, press <Enter> instead of entering a new
password when the “Enter Password” dialog box appears. A message
appears confirming that the password has been disabled.
If you have set supervisor and user passwords, only the supervisor
password allows you to enter the BIOS Setup Program.
Note: If you forget your password, the only way to solve this problem
is to discharge the CMOS memory by turning power off and
placing a shunt on jumper J9 to short pin 2 and pin 3 for five
seconds, then putting the shunt back to pin 1 and pin 2 of J9.
