of default settings when you choose this option. The Optimal

not work best for all computer applications. Particularly do not use
the Optimal BIOS Setup options if your computer is experiencing
system configuration problems.

options if your computer is experiencing system configuration
problems.
When you have completed the system configuration modification,
choose this option to leave BIOS Setup with new parameters
saved and to reboot the computer. So the new system configura-
tion parameters can take effect.
The Security Issue by Using Password Protection
Two Levels of Password Protection
This BIOS provides a Supervisor. If you try to activate passwords,
the Supervisor password must be set.
The passwords activate two different levels of protection security:
1. Always requesting password every single time as the
system is powered on.
2. A password checking procedure pops up when BIOS
utility is executed.
Have the Password Check item set in Advanced CMOS Setup
Menu (refer to Page 2-10, The Menu of Advanced CMOS Setup).
The passwords are encrypted and stored in NVRAM. If the
password protect is activated, an input 16-character password
prompt appears. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it,
you must have NVRAM erased and reconfigured.
