BIOS Setup
These items are used for setting passwords. When a password is set
and the Security Option field in Advanced BIOS Features is set to Setup,
you will be required to enter the password every time you try to enter the
CMOS Setup Utiltiy. This prevents an unauthorized person from chang-
ing any part of your system configuration. Additionally, if the Security
Option field is set to Boot, the BIOS will request a password every time
the system boots. This prevents unauthorized use of your computer.
If you wish to use either function, highlight the item and press <Enter>.
The computer will display the message, “Enter Password”. Type your
password and press <Enter>. After the message “Confirm Password” is
displayed, re-type your password. The Supervisor Password function
will be in effect after you Save and Exit Setup.
To disable a password, highlight the item and press <Enter>. The
computer will display the message “Enter Password”. Press <Enter>. A
message will confirm that the password is disabled. Once the password
is disabled, the system will boot and the password feature is removed.
