If you do not want to accept the hard disk type and its associated parameters as reported by AMIBIOS
or if the drive is “Not Installed,” you may use Standard CMOS Setup to set up the correct param-
eters for the drive.
Once the parameters are correct for all of the drives, you may exit from the Standard CMOS Setup
screen and save the settings in the CMOS.
Change Password
AMIBIOS Setup has an optional password feature which can be configured so that a password
must be entered each time the system boots or just when a user attempts to enter AMIBIOS Setup.
(See the Advanced CMOS Setup section of this manual for information on how to enable the
Password Check option.)
The Change Supervisor Password and Change User Password options on the AMIBIOS Setup
Main Menu allow you to establish passwords, change the current passwords or disable the pass-
word prompts by entering null passwords. The passwords are stored in CMOS RAM. The Change
User Password function is accessible only if the supervisor password has been established previ-
ously. If you have signed on under the user password, you cannot change the supervisor password.
Note : The null password is the system default and is in effect if a password has not been assigned
or if the CMOS has been corrupted. In this case, the “Enter CURRENT Password” prompt
is bypassed when you boot the system, and you must establish a new password.
Change Supervisor Password
If you select the Change Supervisor Password option, the following window displays:
Enter new supervisor password: _
This is the message which displays before you have established a password, or if the last password
entered was the null password. If a password has already been established, you are asked to enter
the current password before being prompted to enter the new password.
Type the new password and press <Enter> . The password cannot exceed six (6) characters in
length. The screen does not display the characters as you type them.
After you have entered the new password, the following window displays:
Enter new supervisor password: _
Re-key the new password as described above.
If the password confirmation is mis-keyed, AMIBIOS Setup displays the following message:
Incorrect password, press any key to continue
No retries are permitted; you must restart the procedure from the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu.
