You can enter a password by:
Typing the password on the keyboard or Selecting each letter via the mouse.
When you select Supervisor or User, AMIBIOS prompts for a password. You must set the Supervi-
sor password before you can set the User password. Enter a 1 – 6 character password. The pass-
word does not appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you
must drain CMOS RAM and reconfigure the system.
Changing a Password
Select the appropriate password icon (Supervisor or User) from the Security section of the WINBIOS
Setup main menu. Enter the password and press <Enter>. The screen does not display the charac-
ters entered. After the new password is entered, retype the new password as prompted and press
<Enter>.
If the password confirmation is incorrect, an error message appears. If the new password is entered
without error, press <Esc> to return to the WINBIOS Main Menu. The password is stored in CMOS
RAM after WINBIOS completes. The next time the system boots, you are prompted for the pass-
word if the password function is present and is Enabled .
Remember the Password
Keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If you forget the password, you
need to reset the CMOS memory (refer to JP 9 on jumper settings - chapter 1)
