2.12 SET SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences
are:
Supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup
menus.
User password : Can only enter but do not have the right to change
the options of the setup menus. When you select
this function, the following message will appear at
the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memor y. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again
and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abor t the selection and not
enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every
time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from
changing any par t of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to
request a password ever y time your system is rebooted. This would prevent
unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup
Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “Sys-tem”, the
password will be required both at boot and at entr y to Setup. If set to “Setup”,
prompting only occurs when tr ying to enter Setup.
