will be requested to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>.
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords:
Supervisor Password
When a system password is set and the
Password Check item in Advanced BIOS Features is
set to Setup , you must enter the supervisor password for entering BIOS Setup and making BIOS
changes.
When the
Password Check item is set to System , you must enter the supervisor password (or
user password) at system startup and when entering BIOS Setup.
User Password
When the
Password Check item is set to System , you must enter the supervisor password (or
user password) at system startup to continue system boot. In BIOS Setup, you must enter the
supervisor password if you wish to make changes to BIOS settings. The user password only
allows you to view the BIOS settings but not to make changes.
To clear the password, press <Enter> on the password item and when requested for the password, press
<Enter> again. The message "PASSWORD DISABLED" will appear, indicating the password has been
cancelled.
