6.2.2
Password Clear Jumper Block
This jumper causes both the User password and the Administrator password to be cleared if they were set.
The operator should be aware that this creates a security gap until passwords have been installed again
through the <F2> BIOS Setup utility. This is the only method by which the Administrator and User passwords
can be cleared unconditionally. Other than this jumper, passwords can only be set or cleared by changing
them explicitly in BIOS Setup or by similar means. No method of resetting BIOS configuration settings to
default values will affect either the Administrator or User passwords.

Strongly recommended: Boot into <F2> BIOS Setup immediately, go to the Security tab and set the
Administrator and User passwords if you intend to use BIOS password protection

in a reduced minimal operating capacity. This jumper should only be used if the ME firmware has gotten
