A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The passwords
control access to the BIOS during system startup. Passwords are not case sensitive, meaning,
it makes no difference whether you the password using uppercase or lowercase letters.
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two different passwords: a Supervisor
password and a User password. If you did not set a Supervisor password, anyone can
access the BIOS Setup program. If you did, the Supervisor password is required to enter
the BIOS Setup program and to gain full access to the configuration fields.
Forgot the Password?
If you forget your password, you can clear it by erasing the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC)
RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is powered by the onboard button
cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) Turn OFF and unplug the computer, (2) Short the
solder points on the motherboard, (3) Turn ON the computer, (4) Hold down <Delete> during
the boot process and enter BIOS Setup to re-enter user preferences.
