Chapter 4 - BIOS Setup
4-17
4.10 Set Supervisor/User Password
When you select this function, the following dialog box will appear on the
screen:
Type the password, up to six characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will replace any previously set password from CMOS memory.
You will be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the password and press
<Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter
the password. A message will show up confirming the password will be disabled.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup
without entering any password.
When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every time
you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part
of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have Award BIOS to
request a password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unautho-
rized use of your computer. The setting to determine when the password prompt is
required is the
Security Option
of the
ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES
menu. If the
Security Option
is set to [Always], the password is required both at boot and at entry
to Setup. If set to [Setup], password prompt only occurs when you try to enter Setup.
