When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist
you in creating a password.
Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. You will be asked to confirm the
password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the
selection and not enter a password.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A message
"PASSWORD DISABLED" will appear to confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is

all BIOS Setup program function. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the
BIOS Setup program and having full configuration fields, the User password is required to access only
basic items.
If you select "System" at "Password Check" in Advance BIOS Features Menu, you will be
prompted for the password every time the system is rebooted or any time you try to enter Setup Menu.
If you select "Setup" at "Password Check" in Advance BIOS Features Menu, you will be prompted
only when you try to enter Setup.
